Black is the presense of all colors blended together. Rainbows are visible light waves, and are are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. Each color has a different wavelength. Red has the longest wave length and violet has the shortest wave length.

Black isn't a color; it absorbs color and reflects no color. Black and white can be the absence of color; mixing pigments is additive, and mixing light is subtractive. Physics sees white as all color and black as the absence of color because we talk about our perception of light in physics.

Any place on the rainbow you can point to and give a name is a color (ROYGBIV). So, black doesn't appear in a rainbow.

FYI: Red and Violet, at opposite rainbow ends, don't meet within the rainbow. Their combination results in pink. Pink doesn't appear in the rainbow.
