How many brand of color are there in a rainbow?

there are 7 you can see i think so that's red orange yellow green blue indigo violet but there are some we cant see. there are 7 you can see i think so that's red orange yellow green blue indigo violet but there are some we cant see. infinity, 3, or 7 There are an infinite number of frequencies of light in a rainbow. Color, however, is interpreted by our eyes. Our eyes have four different types of receptors, three for the primary colors and one for black and white. So in a way there are only three colors in a rainbow. People commonly divide the colors of a rainbow into an acronym ROYGBIV; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.


What colors are beyond the ends of the rainbow?

A purely scientific answer is that there are no more colours beyond what you see in a rainbow. The rainbow constitutes the visible spectrum, meaning that it is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye as light. Beyond the red 'end' of the spectrum is Infra Red Radiation and beyond the violet 'end' is Ultra-Violet and beyond that X-rays. There is a Wikipedia article about the electromagnetic spectrum here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum

Do rainbows appear in the same place on different days?

If you are in the same place, the rainbow will always appear in the same place because it all has to do with the angle you are at in relation to the sun (42 degrees - see the related link). So if you are always in the same spot (e.g. at your desk at work), the sun will be coming from the same same angle, creating the rainbow in the same spot. My understanding of what I've read, you'll only see a rainbow in a certain place in the sky from the same spot at a certain time of the year because the sun moves depending on the season. Also, it is not only the angle of the sun but also the height of it that has to be the same.

Why are seven colors in a rainbow?

Those are the only ones that people talk about, because that's the longest list of colors that a lot of people can remember. But the truth is that there are billions of colors in the rainbow. A lot of them don't even have names because there are so many. In fact, the best way to describe it is: ALL the colors are in the rainbow. If it's something your eye can detect, then it's there.

Why do rainbows only include colors red to violet?

Those are the colors of the visible light spectrum. Rainbows are caused when lightshines through water droplets in the air that act like a prism and separate the lightinto its color spectrum.There are no sharp dividing lines between the colors in the rainbow, and there isa smooth, continuous transition between any two colors you select. Every colorthat your eye is able to perceive is in the rainbow ... technically, an infinite numberof them.The question is really strange. When you say "only colors between red and violet",you're really saying "all the colors there are". Can you name any color whose wavelengthis not somewhere between the wavelengths of red and violet ?
