These studies suggest that rainbows are formed by the dispersion and scattering of sunlight interacting with water droplets in the atmosphere, influenced by factors such as the refractive index and polarization state of light.
A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that results from the interaction of sunlight with water droplets in the atmosphere, producing a spectrum of light in the form of a multicolored arc. This phenomenon has intrigued both poets and scientists for centuries, leading to extensive studies to understand its underlying physical principles.
