Question
Science Question on Light - Reflection and Refraction
Assertion (A): The rainbow is a natural spectrum of sunlight in the sky.
Reason (R) : Rainbow is formed in the sky when the sun is overhead and water droplets are also present in air.
A
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
B
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).
C

D
Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
Answer
Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.
Explanation
Solution
Rainbows form due to refraction, dispersion, and reflection of sunlight in water droplets, typically when the sun is low in the sky (morning or late afternoon), not overhead.
