refraction
angular dispersion
angular deviation
total internal reflection

उत्तर
Angular deviation
Explanation:
A rainbow is created when raindrops that are suspended in the air scatter sunlight. We perceive a rainbow because of the way light refracts when it enters a raindrop, total internal reflection from the rear of the droplet surface, and further refracted out in the atmosphere. So all the given processes, i.e., total internal reflection, refraction, and dispersion, take place in the rainbow formation. Angular deviation of light doesn't occur in the formation of a rainbow.

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realizing that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.
