Pick the wrong answer in the context of rainbow formation.
When the light rays undergo two internal reflections in a water drop, a secondary rainbow is formed.
The order of colours is reversed in the secondary rainbow.
An observer can see a rainbow when his front is towards the sun.
Rainbow is a combined effect of dispersion, refraction, and reflection of sunlight.
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the formation of rainbows and identify the incorrect statement.Let's evaluate each option:• Option 1: When light rays undergo two internal reflections in a water drop, a secondary rainbow is formed.This statement is correct. A secondary rainbow is indeed formed due to two internal reflections within the water droplets.• Option 2: The order of colours is reversed in the secondary rainbow.This statement is correct. In a secondary rainbow, the order of colors is reversed compared to the primary rainbow.• Option 3: An observer can see a rainbow when his front is towards the sun.This statement is incorrect. To see a rainbow, the observer must have their back to the sun, with the sunlight entering the raindrops in front of them.• Option 4: Rainbow is a combined effect of dispersion, refraction, and reflection of sunlight.This statement is correct. The formation of a rainbow involves the dispersion, refraction, and reflection of sunlight within raindrops.Therefore, the incorrect statement is Option 3.The correct answer is Option 3.
