I've read that the proper way to draw a rainbow is with the red on the inside, violet on the outside, and that about half of all rainbow pictures get it wrong. But is that a typo? I would think RED is on the OUTSIDE since red light has the longer wavelength. Correct? What's the correct pattern from inside to outside, and is it because of wavelength alone?

In the photos of rainbows that I have seen, the red is on the top of the arch and the purple is on the bottom. For double rainbows, the lower rainbow is how I described, and the colors are reversed on the upper rainbow.

Go to this site. It shows a color picture of the visible light spectrum which are the colors of a rainbow.
