Why a Puddle of water shows with a rainbow effect on pavement?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
This is an example of thin-film interference. Oil on the pavement floats to the water's surface, forming an extremely thin film. Light waves reflected from the front and back surfaces of the film interfere, amplifying a particular light wavelength (color) for each particular film thickness. The rainbow pattern is formed by gradual changes in film thickness across the puddle surface.

Good question Air DOES show Tyndall effect as the dust particles in air help in the scattering of light...however air is considered homogeneous as there is even distribution of gases (nitrogen 71% Oxygen 28%) The air which shows Tyndall effect is polluted and polluted air is heterogeneous as the amounts of smoke in air can vary from place to place Hope this helps :)

I have also noticed the effect with tinted windows, same reason.
