    A). No. A mirror doesn't separate light into its different wavelengths.

    B). No. Light doesn't separate into its different wavelengths when it

    goes, say, from glass into water.

    C). No. When light goes through your glasses, it doesn't separate

    into its different wavelengths.

    D). Yes! When sunlight shines into droplets of water in the atmosphere,

    it comes out separated into its different wavelengths. When we see that

    happening in the air in front of us, we call it a "rainbow".
