(i) The rainbow formed due to passage of sunlight (white coloured light) through water droplets contains seven colours. (ii) When we blow a soap-bubble we can see different colours. (iii) When white light (sunlight) reflects from the surface of compact disk, we see many colours. (iv) When light is allowed to pass through a prism, we see a band of seven colours.
` therefore ` From the above facts he concluded that the light from the sun is a mixture of colours.
