Why we can't ...

Question

Why we can't touch the rainbow?

Open in App

Solution

Rainbow is formed just because of dispersion of white light due to raindrops. Technically different colours are light waves of different wavelengths. Since we can not touch light, so we can not even touch a rainbow.
