Answer:

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.

Explanation:

The rainbow is a colorful visual and meteorological phenomenon, in which the range of colors that compose the visible light in the sky appears. The phenomenon occurs when the sun's rays fall on raindrops in the Earth's atmosphere and is an example of refraction, after reflection. Each color is refracted at a different angle inside the droplets (which act like small prisms), it undergoes a different deflection and so the visible white light is analyzed in the different colors that compose it.
