CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS

One of nature's most splendid masterpieces is the rainbow. A rainbow is an excellent
demonstration of the dispersion of light and one more piece of evidence that visible light is
composed of a spectrum of wavelengths, each associated with a distinct colour. To view a
rainbow, the sun must be at your back as you look at an approximately 40 degree angle above
the ground into a region of the atmosphere with suspended droplets of water or even a light
mist. Each individual droplet of water acts as a tiny prism that both disperses the light and
reflects it back to your eye.
i) Formation of rainbow involves some natural phenomena which are in the correct order
respectively is
a)refraction, dispersion, internal reflection and refraction
b)refraction, dispersion, internal reflection
c)reflection, refraction ,dispersion and refraction
d) dispersion , reflection, refraction and internal reflection
ii) During the formation of a rainbow the position of observer and sun is
a) Observer behind sun
b) sun behind the observer
b) Observer facing sun
d) at any position
iii) During the formation of rainbow, dispersion of sunlight is done by

a) tiny air molecules
b) dust particles of atmosphere
c) tiny droplets of rain water suspended in air
d) air and water
iv)The dispersion of light into its components by prism is due to

a) each component get deviated by the same angle by refraction
b) each component gets deviated by a different angle by refraction
c)reflection of each component light by different angle
d)reflection of each component light by same angle
