Explanation:

The splitting up of white light into seven colours on passing through a transparent medium like a glass prism is called disperision of light

The raindrops act like small prisms. When sunlight enters and leaves these randrops, the various coulured rays in white light are refracted by different amounts due to which an arc of seven coulurs called ranbow is formed.
