Am was sitting at his desk in front of a window doing his homework. Sunlight shined through the window and a glass of water on the desk and created a rainbow across Sam's paper. Where did the colors in the rainbow come from?​

Since the glass was curved, it made the sunlight change colors.​

The white sunlight was separated into all the colors that make up white light.​

The only way the rainbow could appear is because of a picture on the glass.​

Answer:

The white sunlight was separated into all the colors that make up white light.​

Step-by-step explanation:

The sunlight shines into the water droplets in the air, bending as it moves from the air into the water, reflecting off the sides the drops, and bending again as it exits the drops. As a result, all of the colors in the white light of the sun separate into the individual bands of color characteristic of a rainbow.
