Which of the following statement is correct?
- A In primary rainbow, observer sees red colour on the top and violet on the bottom
- B In primary rainbow, observer sees violet colour on the top and red on the bottom
- C In primary rainbow, light wave suffers total internal reflection twice before coming out of water drops
- D Primary rainbow is less bright than secondary rainbow.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) In primary rainbow, observer sees red colour on the top and violet on the bottom
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
