How do the colors of the soap bubble originate?
transmitted light by thin films cause such a display of colors
Why colour seen on soap bubble?
Soap bubbles have color because they reflect light in a weird way. The way the reflect color is based on the thickness of the bubble. Some of the light coming to the bubble reflects off of the inner surface of the bubble, and some off of the outer surface. The two waves of light cancel out or add in different ways, so different colors of light are produced. In a really thin bubble, no light is reflected because the two waves almost exactly cancel with each other, but a 100 nanometer bubble makes a light blue.
What is the charge on a soap bubble?
Soap bubble's have a negative charge.
What is the most popular brand of soap bubbles?
The Dove soap bubble is the most popular soap bubble in America.
Is there any difference between the colours emerging from a prism and the colours of a soap film seen in sunlight?
No. In soap bubbles the color you see is proportional to the thickness of the soap bubble, and not the angle. This is because in a soap bubble, the light you see is the sum of the light reflecting off of the outer surface and the inner surface, which cancel out and add to get various colors, whereas in a prism, light is simply reflected and dispersed at an angle based on its energy. The way they reflect on the inner surface and outer surface is different at different thicknesses of bubble. Waves that travel from air to water have their peaks become troughs and vice versa. Really thin bubbles do not reflect at all and appear black against a black background. This is because the wave bouncing off of the back side of the bubble cancels out with the one bouncing off of the front. Different thicknesses cancel out some frequencies while leaving others (for example a 200 micrometer bubble cancels out blue and leaves orange because the wavelength of blue light is just right to be canceled). Another interesting thing is that, since waves are periodic (repeat up and down) , a bubble with twice the thickness will cancel out the wave in the same way. So if you graph bubble thickness vs. color of bubble, you will get roygbiv roygbiv ... over and over.
Which phenomenon produces the colors in soap bubble?
dispersion of light

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.
What makes soap and bubble?
They can come in all sorts of colors even purple and pink!!

How do soap bubbles become round?
A sphere is the shape that has the largest volume and smallest surface area. the surface tension pulls the surface of the bubble in but the volume of air inside the bubble remains constant so the bubble wants to become a sphere.
What causes the colorful swires in the soap bubbles?
The colors are a rainbow of small sorts. Light refracted through the soap bubble at the proper angle reveals the colors via the prism effect
How white light will appear once passed through a soap bubble?
It will have been dispersed into the spectrum
Is a soap bubble a element?
A soap bubble is not a chemical element.
What is the charge on a soap bubble?
Soap bubble's have a negative charge.
Does relative humidity affect how long soap bubbles last?
how long does a soap bubble last? a soap bubble last 45miniutes how long does a soap bubble last? a soap bubble last 45miniutes
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.
