"Diffraction is the dispersion of white light into its spectral colors. When light passes through a prism, it is divided into its component colors". it seems there are two correct answers.

it is both refraction and reflection. The water drops are spheres the rainbow is a result of 'total internal refraction' . it happens at an angle such that the refraction , angle change, at the first surface means that at the back of the sphere the light is reflected back. Then refracted as it leaves the spherical water droplet.

Longest answer wins. Would have been a little harder if they left off the end.

That’s a sign of a covenant God made with Noah. After all the flood.

Last year and this year I saw a lot of rainbows. I like rain. I prefer over hot and windy weather. In the Bible a rainbow was God’s promise to Noah he would not flood the earth again.

NicPicCan, you can't reach the end of it, meaning that there might be a CHEST(corrected).
