A man is Standing on the peak of a mountain and finds that evening sun rays are nearly horizontal. At a horizontal distance of 6 km from him, its raining and he sees a beautiful rainbow. The sun rays entering water drop get refracted, reflected and refracted to form a rainbow. The red light is emitted from a drop upto a maximum angle of 42° with respect to the incident sunlight. In front of the man there is a flat valley at a depth of 0.5 km from the mountain peak. What fraction of the complete circular arc of the rainbow is visible to the man?

Assertion: The rainbow is seen sometimes in the sky when it is raining. When one sees a rainbow, one's back is towards the sun. Reason: Interanl reflection from water droplet causes dispersion. The final ray is in the backward direction.

Sona was standing outside her house in the afternoon enjoying the light drizzle after the heavy rain. Suddenly she saw a rainbow in the sky. Sona called out her father and asked him what a rainbow is and how it is formed. Sona's father told her that rainbow is an arch of seven colours visible in the sky which is produced by the splitting of white sunlight by tiny raindrops in the atmosphere. He also told Sona that a similar phenomenon can also be observed in a science laboratory by passing white light through a transparent object. (a) What is the name of the phenomenon which produces rainbow ? (b) Name the seven colours of the rainbow. Which of them deviates the most ? (c) When the rainbow is formed, state whether the sun is shining in the sky or not. (d) Name the transparent object which can be used to observe the phenomenon similar to a rainbow in the science laboratory. (e) What values are displayed by Sona's father ?
