This is caused by the light being reflected twice on the inside of the droplet before leaving it. In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc. Useful Notes on Dispersion of Light (explained with diagram) Light can travel through various mediums like air, glass, water and oil. But for light of a color very close to a particular resonance, the opposite trend is observed: n decreases as decreases.

In this way, different colors reach the observer’s eye. They refract and disperse the incident sunlight, and then reflect it internally before finally refracting it again on coming out of the raindrop. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it. Light rays of different colours travel with the same speed in vacuum and air but in any other medium, they travel with the different speeds and bend. It is caused by the dispersion of light (sunlight) by tiny water droplets present in the atmosphere. In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. The film can have an A-B bi-layer or an A-B-A tri-layer configuration. This process is facilitated by molecular diffusion and convection. The present invention relates to a multilayer cellulose ester film having a reversed optical dispersion. However, the observer normally sees only an arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground, and centered on a line from the Sun to the observer's eye. Dispersion is a process by which (in the case of solid dispersing in a liquid) agglomerated particles are separated from each other, and a new interface between the inner surface of the liquid dispersion medium and the surface of the dispersed particles is generated. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Dispersion of light happens when light passes through a prism. Chromatic dispersion is a wavelength dependant parameter. Chromatic dispersion or intra-modal dispersion happens in both single mode and multimode optical fibers. Dispersion is the broadening of pulse width after travelling through the fiber.

A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. Dispersion is a natural phenomenon which happens to light while it travels through a medium.
