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.

Does a color make a difference to the heat?
The color of an object can affect how much heat it absorbs from sunlight. Dark colors tend to absorb more heat because they absorb a wider range of visible light wavelengths. Lighter colors reflect more light and heat, so they tend to stay cooler.
What are shades?
shades are any colours with the mixture of black
What happens when an electron returns to its lower energy level?
When an electron returns to its lower energy level, it emits a photon of specific energy corresponding to the energy difference between the higher and lower levels. This process is called emission, and it results in the electron losing energy and returning to a more stable state.
Why are the tertiary colors called tertiary colors?
The primary (first) colours are the basic building blocks. You use them to make other colours but can not mix other colours to get them. The primary colours are: Red Blue Yellow. The secondary (second) colours are the result of mixing two of the primary colours in equal parts to achieve a colour. The secondary colours are: Purple - 1 part Red + 1 part Blue Orange - 1part Red + 1 part Yellow Green - 1 part Blue + 1 part Yellow The tertiary (third) colours are the result of adding one part primary colour to the secondary colours it is part of, resulting in colours closer to the primaries than the secondaries. The tertiary colours are: Red-Purple - 2 parts Red + 1 part Blue Blue-Purple - 2 parts Blue + 1 part Red Blue-Green - 2 parts Blue + 1 part Yellow Yellow-Green - 2 parts Yellow + 1 part Blue Yellow-Orange - 2 parts Yellow + 1 part Red Red-Orange - 2 parts Red + 1 part Yellow.
Why black and white are not primary color?
primary colours are the colours of the rainbow( VIBGYOR).Now White is made by mixing all the colours of the rainbow and black is also made by by mixing some colours present in the rainbow.so the colours present in the rainbow are primary colours and all the other colours in the world are made by mixing them in someway.Secondary colours are not naturally present. .....................................Gho$t
