Which is not correct when describing the formation of rainbows?
A rainbow is really spherical in nature.
Sunlight is spread into a spectrum when it enters a spherical raindrop.
Sunlight is internally reflected on the back side of a raindrop.
All wavelengths refract at the same angle.

The last one.
"All wavelengths refract at the same angle".
If they did we would not have the beautiful rainbows we have! :-)
I did a project on this in highschool and had soo much fun "making" rainbows!

All wavelength refract at the same angle......this is totally wrong. A spectrum is formed because different colours (having different wavelengths) refract by different angles

That last statement about wavelengths refracting at the same angle is incorrect. If that happened, there would be no rainbows.

"All wavelengths refract at the same angle." is not correct.

That wasn't a question as much as it was a statement.
there also isn't a pot of gold at the end either or leprechan's what a gip.
