16.

Rainbows occur because each color of light has a slightly different index of refraction. This causes each color to separate out into different colors. What is the cause of this effect?

a)

Diffraction

b)

Diverging

c)

Dispersion

d)

Differential

17.

refraction

b)

reflection

c)

diffraction

d)

interference
