- Question
The optical phenomenon that is primarily responsible for the observation of rainbow on a rainy day is
Options- A. diffraction
- B. interference
- C. dispersion
- D. reflection
- Correct Answer
- dispersion
ExplanationA rainbow is a natural spectrum appearing in the sky after a rain shower. It is caused by dispersion of sunlight by tiny water droplets, present in the atmosphere. A rainbow is always formed in a direction opposite to that of the Sun. The water droplets act like small prisms. They refract and disperse the incident sunlight, then reflect it internally, and finally refract it again when it comes out of the raindrops.

Correct Answer: R/5
Explanation:
1st copper wire: R = pl/A = pl/ ?r2
2ndcopper wire: R? = p?l?/A? = pl/(4 ?r2) = R/4
If joined in parallel, (1/Req) = (1/R) + (1/R?)
= 1/R + 4/R1/Req= 5/R
Req= R/5
Correct Answer: 500 nm only
Explanation:
