The refraction of light is commonly known as
bending
scattering
reflection
interference
When a CD (compact disc used in audio and video systems) is seen in sunlight,rainbow like colours are seen.This can be explained on the basis of the phenomenon of :
reflection and diffraction
reflection and transmission
