The light energy emitted by the Sun can be dispersed by

 

Solution:

Concept: A dispersion of light is the phenomenon that occurs when a white light ray strikes a prism and is separated into its component colours.

The spectrum of a light beam is the band of its coloured components.

A rainbow is a natural spectrum that appears in the sky following a rain shower.

It is caused by the dispersion of sunlight in the atmosphere by tiny water droplets.

A rainbow always forms in the opposite direction of the Sun.

The water droplets function as small prisms.

They refract and disperse incident sunlight, then internally reflect it, and finally refract it as it exits the raindrop.

Different colours reach the observer's eye as a result of light dispersion and internal reflection.

As a result, light energy emitted by the Sun can be dispersed by a rainstorm.
