Concept explainers
Colors of a thin film such as soap bubble or oil on water, appear to change the thin film distort the light.
Answer to Problem 1STP
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Interference is the property of light in which reflecting wave of light. In interference two light waves interfere each other with in phase or out of phase.
When sun light incident on the soap film light gets reflect from upper surface of film and also from below surface of film interference occurs.
Conclusion:
Option B. Film thickness causes interference of light due to which different colors are seen.
