No. Water vapor has no light source. Also, a rainbow is really a circle. There is no "end" of the rainbow. The light source is the sun. Draw a line from the sun to the center of the rainbow. The different colors are located at the angles relative to the sun's rays. For instance, if I recall correctly, I seem to remember that "Red" occurs at about 22 degrees off axis from the center of the rainbow. Other colors occur at higher or lower angles.
