On a rainy day, small oil films on water show brilliant colours. This is due to interference.
Colors in thin films are caused by the interference of light waves reflecting and refracting off the top and bottom surfaces of the film. Different thicknesses of the film lead to different colors due to the varying wavelengths of light that constructively interfere. This phenomenon is known as thin-film interference.

Newton's rings can be observed in various real-life situations, such as when examining the surface quality of lenses, testing the flatness of surfaces in engineering, or diagnosing defects in glass or other transparent materials. They can also be seen in interference patterns produced by thin films or oil slicks on water.
Colors in thin films arise due to the phenomenon of interference. When light waves reflect off the top and bottom surfaces of a thin film, such as soap or oil, they can interfere with one another—constructively or destructively—depending on the film's thickness and the wavelength of the light. This interference results in the vivid colors observed, as different wavelengths are enhanced or diminished. The angle of observation and the viewing conditions can also affect the perceived colors.
Wave interference is the interaction of two or more waves that overlap in the same space, resulting in either reinforcement or cancellation of the waves. In the context of light, interference can occur when light waves interact with each other, leading to effects like diffraction patterns and colors in thin films. This phenomenon is important in understanding the behavior of light and how it interacts with different materials.

Thin films exhibit colors due to the interference of light waves reflecting off the top and bottom surfaces of the film. When light waves interact constructively, they amplify certain wavelengths, creating the appearance of color. This phenomenon is known as thin-film interference.
Iridescence is caused by the cancellation of colors. Iridescence is the phenomenon whereby interference of light waves of mixed frequencies reflected from the top ad bottom of thin films produces a spectrum of colors.

Mental Ray is a rendering application which supports tracing (artificial) rays of light through pixels in an image plane to simulate it's effects on a virtual object. This application has been used in several feature-films, to realistically incorporate CGI objects and persons seamlessly into a recorded scene. Similarly, this application can be used in a multitude of 3D-CAD programs to create a realistic representation of an object that was drawn in one such program.
The colors of a soap bubble are created by interference of light waves reflecting off the front and back surfaces of the thin soap film. This interference causes certain wavelengths of light to amplify, creating the vibrant colors we see. The colors change as the film thickness varies, resulting in a rainbow effect.
