Draw a ray diagram to show rainbow formation

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Rainbow forms when sunlight hits the water droplets suspended in the atmosphere and undergoes total internal reflection. When the sunlight comes out of the drop it disperses, where the drop acts like a small prism. This dispersion or breaking up of light into several colors is what forms the Rainbow.
