  1. Rainbow is formed due to
    1. refraction and dispersion
    2. scattering and refraction
    3. diffraction and refraction
    4. refraction and reflection
Correct Option: D

A rainbow is an optical phenomenon that is caused by both reflection and refraction of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It is caused by light being refracted (bent) when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.
