It is physically impossible to reach the end of a rainbow.

But in fairy tale stories you may come across people finding it. Especially in Ireland with the legend of the leprechaun. Hope this helps.

Where do you find the rainbow with the gold pot at the end of it?

Realistically, There is no end to a rainbow, for the reason that a rainbow is a circle of continuous light. Unrealistically, a leprechaun hide gold at the end of a rainbow, at the time no one knowing that there is no end to a rainbow. Why gold? It was a pot of gold because gold was a precious metal and Ireland has no gold, unless imported. Gold being higher than silver in the market. A pot of gold meant lot of $$$


What color of the rainbow has the lowest frequency?

Lowest frequency = longest wavelength.That's the last color your eyes can see at the 'red' end of the rainbow.


Is there an end of a rainbow?

Answer #1: No, it is not possible to get to the end of a rainbow. A rainbow is actually a full circle of color in the sky. But, from our perspective on Earth, we only see the top half and the two ends of the arch only appear to touch the ground.__________Here is a twist to the answer that will surprise you. The answer is yes AND no. You cannot get to the end of the rainbow that you are looking at. But in fact you might BE at the end of the rainbow (at least the apparent end of it) that someone else is looking at a mile or two away. If that person moved to where you are, he would see the rainbow that you see, and not the one he saw at his former location. The rainbow is NOT one single event happening at one specific location. The atmosphere is acting like a huge prism, and the appearance of 'the' rainbow depends as much on your location as it does on the location of the sun and the right amount of moisture in the air.__________Answer #2: Yes, it is possible to get to the end of a rainbow. By "the end of the rainbow", I mean a specific location on the ground where the arc of a rainbow touches down. Ironically enough, there is even something there that resembled a "pot of gold".There may or may not be a mechanistic explanation congruent with our cultural tradition of physics that is adequate for this, but nonetheless, it is real, and the world doesn't really care what we think is possible and is not possible.I have been to the end of a rainbow, in Europe as a military helicopter pilot, and while at the end of the rainbow I observed the phenomenon carefully. The factual nature of what myself and other professionals witnessed at the end of that rainbow has always provided me with some liberating laughter when I read the technical explanations written with such certainty by many. Take everything we scientists say with a grain or two of salt.

Is a rainbow got gold at the end of rainbow?

No .The mythology associated with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow was perpetuated by the Leprechaun's themselves. Back around 6000 years ago a Leprechaun from what is now know as West Cork in Ireland was captured by a Celt who refused to let him go unless he was told where the Leprechauns kept their gold. The Leprechauns companions created a false trail and hid a small amount of gold at a point where through their magical qualities they created a Rainbow without sun or rain -he end of which fell at the point where the gold was buried. When the Celt began to dig he came across a small piece of gold and is excitement he let the Leprechaun go. This started the myth and it passed down through the generations So its true to say wherever you see a rainbow now that there is no pot of gold of it. In fact the gold is anywhere except there and thats what keeps it safe.
