The first meaning of tangible is that you can touch it. You can't touch a rainbow. It is an optical effect, caused by the splitting of light rays into different frequencies of light. If you move, the rainbow moves.
The second meaning of tangible is something that is definite; clearly intelligible; not illusive. In the sense that rainbows are definite, i.e. definable and real, then, in that respect they certainly are tangible.
But you still can't touch one!
However, you could be touched by a rainbow, in the sense that seeing a rainbow has often touched the heart/feelings of an observer!

∙ 14y agoNo. A rainbow appears when light passes through any kind of moisture in the air, such as mist or fog, which means it's simply a reflection of light and not a physical thing.

What is an illusion caused by the refraction of light called?
rainbow
Can you touch a rainbow?
Because its an optical illusion. It looks like it falls on the horizion, but the more you travel towards it, it remains the same distance away. The rainbow that you actually see is only part of a circle of the rainbow in the sky. We normally only see a segment or an arc from horizion to horizion. On certain conditions when the upper level atmosphere is just right, an entire circle of the rainbow can be seen and on rare occasions, even multiple ones. == ==
What is The existing system of things the universe of matter time energy and space?
Many things are not explainable by conventional scientific logic. No one knows what an electron is and what the magnetic field is actually and how they are as they are. Innumerous animals and plants live on tough earth for millions of years. This is an impossible and complex life environment for the size and hospitality of earth for all these to live naturally. For example, human body is very complex with innumerous mechanisms running it with full cooperation. This complexity would not evolve as understood by the materialistic evolution theories. Even if evolved so, would not remain longer than a little while in the Earth's environment. An atomic particle penetrates infinite barrier wall when it is not able to jump over it, which is in-explainable logically. There are weapons like Brahmastra, which destroy things with un-understandable through materialistic science driving source in the weapon. A curse can work. So, many things that we know are not interpretable in our minds through materialistic logic. Even the things that we think as understood well are not actually interpretable logically if analyzed at the basic level. So, all the things are happening miraculously or in a manner un-interpretable through materialistic logic. Any illogical thing is possible if it is not actually happening but only an illusion to mind as if it is happening. Only illusive universe can have any thing happening. For example; a man can have wings, light may travel in a zigzag manner through space, things may be repelled by the gravitational force and any law of nature is possible to exist in dream (imagination) with out need for logic. The objects and rules are applicable in illusions also in the same way. That means, every thing we sense or perceive is an illusion with out need for rules and so we are able to actually experience them. We perceive which do not exist. If a thing is not an illusion, it can not exist because it can not exist logically. Any rules seen in this illusion are just the rules in illusion, not the really existing rules. It is a rule in illusion that there will be gravitational force of attraction between any two objects. Actually objects do not exist really and the gravitational force too. The rules in the illusion are just to let the illusion happen constructively. When you talk to your friend (illusion), you act to him as you will (think/decide). So, 'you' are 'a willing object undergoing illusion'. When you will to walk, you walk (illusion). When you will to talk, you talk (illusion). That means illusion is built in to you in such a way that your will and illusion do not conflict. You get illusion with out creating it. That means, there are at least 2 objects in this universe (you and the illusion creating system). So, there may be any number of illusion centered objects like you in this universe. If there are many illusion receivers like you, yet you can not recognize the things pertaining to you as illusion easily though every thing you receive is an illusion, because it is a synchronized illusion. When you (real) do illusion talk to your illusion-friend (not real friend object), you get an illusion reply from your illusion-friend. At the same time, your real friend object feels the illusion talk from illusion-you (not real you, your illusion) and he gives an illusion reply to illusion-you. But, your friend-illusion acts exactly as your real friend is replying; and your illusion acts exactly as you are doing. Then, you feel that your real friend is interacting with you really because you are able to get response from him unambiguously when you talk. The same will be the perception by your friend object that came as illusion-friend to you. That means, you are experiencing an illusion such that your illusion does not conflict with the illusions around you and so it is difficult for you to identify that there are many synchronized illusions around you. So, the source of all the illusions is one system as all the illusions are synchronized as one. When you talk to your friend, illusion you are getting is behaving as per your will. But, illusion you are getting is same as the real response your friend-real is giving and the illusion your friend-real is receiving is the same as the illusion you are receiving in a synchronized illusion. But, illusion your friend is receiving behaves as per his will. So, in a synchronized illusion, your will and your friend's will must not be free and must behave according to the synchronized illusion both of you are receiving if the wills should not conflict. So, will is not free to you and it is made to behave according to the synchronized illusion. So, 'Will's of different objects like 'you' are bonded to the synchronized illusion so that the 'will's behave as per the synchronized illusion; which looks like the synchronized illusion is behaving as per the 'will'. So, if 'will's are being done as per the illusion, they should be being done by the same system which is doing illusion. So, there is only one thing that makes the illusion and makes wills. Let us call that only thing doing every thing as PARABRAHMA. So, there exists only illusion and the objects of will undergoing the illusion; all being done by PARABRAHMA. Let us call the 'wills undergoing illusion' as ATMAs and the synchronized illusion as MAYA. So, ATMAs and MAYA are bonded and are done by (bonded to) PARABRAHMA.

Are we really living reality or is it all an illusion?
We are really living reality, but this reality is an illusion. There is no ‘or’, it is ‘and’. What does it mean? You see a rainbow, and it is an illusion. You cannot ask whether it is a rainbow or an illusion. You see a mirage in a desert and it is an illusion. You see it, it exists, but its existence is an illusion. So is our life. Of course, we are living this life. There is no doubt, but our life itself is an illusion. Just like a dream. When we wake up in the morning, of course there was a dream, but the dream was an illusion. So also is this life. Although it looks very real today, at death, it will terminate to be an illusion. Therefore, we must realize how this life is nothing but an illusion.
