When gasoline is mixed with water, it creates a thin film on the surface due to their immiscibility. This film acts as a prism, separating white light into its component colors and creating a rainbow effect. The colors in the rainbow are produced by the light bending and reflecting through the thin film of gasoline and water.

Do water ag gasoline mix well?

Water and gasoline have different densities, and do not mix at all. If you put some gasoline (or almost any kind of oil) and some water in a clear jar, seal the jar and shake it, you'll see that you create a "suspension"; globules of water interspersed with globules of oil. Place the jar on the ground, and watch; the water will settle, and the oil will rise, until they are completely separated.


Why is there no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

Another contributor said: A rainbow is simply light refracted through water droplets. There is no real connection with gold whatsoever. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More simply put, the reason is that it is actually impossible to put yourself at the end of a rainbow. As you move towards where you see the end of the rainbow to be, the rainbow moves so you can never get to the end.
