(mc) what is the result of the sun's light being refracted when it is high in the sky around noon? light is separated into its individual colors and different wavelengths causing a rainbow to appear. blue, indigo and violet are strongly bent that mostly skim through the upper atmosphere making the sky appear blue red, yellow and orange bands are above the horizon while the other colors are out of sight, making the sky appear reddish light waves are refracted so that the order of the colors or different wavelengths in a rainbow is flip-flopped
