Where in nature can you find evidence that white sunlight may be made of different colours?
The formation of a rainbow in nature is evidence to show that white sunlight is made up of different colours.
When the sun is shining and it's raining at the same time, then a rainbow is formed in the sky due to the dispersion of white sunlight by millions of raindrops (or, water droplets) in the atmosphere. Each raindrop behaves like a tiny glass prism that splits the white light into a spectrum (different colours). Different coloured rays present in white light are refracted or bend at different angles on passing through the water droplets. Thus the white light gets separated into a natural spectrum of seven colours, namely, violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR).
