Red has lower energy and blue has higher so they are refracted less. Think of cars. One is going faster so it goes farther when it hits water. Cars with less energy will not go farther, and will be refracted more

Why is the order of the 7 colors of a rainbow always the same?
The amount by which light is bent depends on its wavelength. The colors are arranged in the order of their wavelengths.
How do you make a rainbow from white light?
White light contains all wavelengths of colors. To make a rainbow, you need to separate those wavelengths (colors). This is accomplished by bending, or diffracting light. Different wavelengths of light are bent differently when they are passed through a transparent prism. When they are bent diffrently, they start to separate from one another and become visible to the eye as different colors.
Is a rainbows a types of weather?
no, a rainbow is what happens when light energy hits evaporated water particle in the air. the light is scattered and bent, causing the colors you see.
Is rainbow source of light?
No, a rainbow does not produce light, it is an effect of light being bent (refracted). The source of the light seen in a rainbow is the Sun.

What are the properties of light involved in a rainbow formation?
can be bent
Why does a rainbow have different colours?
Rainbows have different colors because when the sun (which is actually white) reflects on a raindrop, the white from the sun projects the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet which make a colorful rainbow.
Why rainbow can be seen?
They're light (bent but real light), and your eyes react to light.
What does White light contains?
If white light is bent through a prism the colors of the rainbow would appear. So to answer your question, white light is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet.

Why are the colors of the rainbow those colors?
This is the same as if you had a light to a piece of glass..... the light is bended.
What are the colours of the rainbow collectively know as?
white light contains all of the colors of the rainbow, so if all of the rainbow's colors shown collectively at one point, the light would be white light (like the sun's light).
