Why does a soap bubble show beautiful colours when illuminated by white light?
The bubble diffracts light waves inside it, splitting white light into the colors of the rainbow.
Explain why colors appear on the surface of a soap bubble?
The phenomenon is called iridescence. It happens because in a thin film (like a soap bubble, or gasoline on water) there can be constructive interference in light waves as they bounce between the two surfaces of the film. The exact color depends very sensitively on the thickness of the film, which is why the colors seem to swirl around as minor variations in the thickness move through the substance.
Explain the principles behind the reason why you see colors on soap bubbles?
This works through interference patterns. The wall of the soap bubble is very thin - on the order of the wavelength of the light. This makes the interference patterns noticeable. The interference is caused between the light that is reflected from the front part of the bubble wall, and from the light reflected from the back part of the bubble wall.
Why do you see colors on soap bubbles?
