How Do Rainbows Form?

The video explains how light waves behave, focusing on the formation of rainbows. Sunlight, composed of various wavelengths, enters raindrops, refracts, and reflects to form a spectrum of colors. The video details how light travels in waves, the role of wavelength in color perception, and the conditions necessary to view a rainbow. It also explains why rainbows form an arc due to the angle of incoming sunlight.

Explain how sunlight is split into different colors when it enters a raindrop.
