Rainbow formation is a complex phenomenon primarily involving which set of optical processes?

Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

A rainbow is formed by sunlight interacting with water droplets. As light enters the droplet, it undergoes refraction and dispersion (separating into colors). The light then strikes the back of the droplet and undergoes total internal reflection. Finally, it undergoes a second refraction as it exits, spreading the spectrum out for the observer to see.
