Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The rainbow is formed due to the refraction and dispersion of the light by the rain water droplets. The water droplets act like tiny prisms. First, sunlight is refracted and dispersed, which gets reflected internally, then is finally refracted when it comes out of the raindrop.
