Answer to Question 1

Answer: Secondary rainbows require two reflections within the raindrop. A small portion of the light hitting the back of the raindrop is reflected back from the interior of the droplet surface, penetrates the droplet once again, and is refracted a second time as it exits the front side of the droplet at a position somewhat lower than where it entered the droplet.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: reflect; sun pillars
