Can some one explain how rainbow are form in term of photon. and also how photon are related into frequency.

A rainbow is formed when sunlight passes through water droplets in the air, causing the light to refract and disperse into its component colors.
Photons are the fundamental particles of light that make up the visible spectrum. When sunlight enters a water droplet, the photons are refracted and then reflected off the back of the droplet, causing the colors of the rainbow to separate and become visible.
Rainbows only appear after rain because water droplets are required for the refraction and reflection of light to occur. Raindrops provide a large number of water droplets in the air, creating the conditions necessary for the formation of a rainbow.
Yes, rainbows are always in the same order of colors because the different colors of light have varying wavelengths and are refracted at different angles, resulting in the familiar sequence of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
No, a rainbow can only be seen at a specific angle. The angle of refraction and reflection for each color is different, so the observer must be positioned at a specific angle to see the entire spectrum of colors. This is why rainbows can only be seen when the sun is behind the observer and the water droplets are in front.
