To begin with, the sun must be behind you in the sky, and not too high. Then, the rays from the sun will meet water droplets in the air in

the distance in front of you. The rays will first bend as they travel from the air into the water droplet (change in medium). Second, some of the bent rays will bounce off the of the water droplet rather than travel out the back into the air. Third, the bounced rays will bend again as they exit the front of the water droplet and enter air again (change in medium). these three steps result in the separation of colors that we see as a rainbow. This process is diagrammed below. Decide if each step described above is an example of refraction, reflection, or diffraction. (You may use one more than once and you may use one not at all.)
