When bubbles reflect light, the light is scattered and refracted in different directions, creating colorful patterns on the surface of the bubble. This phenomenon is known as iridescence, where the thickness of the bubble's surface determines the color seen by reflecting and refracting light waves.

Why do you see colors on soap bubbles?
Soap bubbles are thin films of soap and water that reflect and refract light, creating interference patterns. This interference causes different colors to appear on the bubble's surface due to the way light waves interact with the film's thickness. The colors change as the bubble thins and eventually bursts.
What happens if the light strikes on an cardboard?
If light strikes cardboard, the cardboard will absorb some of the light and reflect the rest. The color and thickness of the cardboard will affect how much light is absorbed or reflected.
What happens when you shine light through a mirror?
When you shine light through a mirror, the light will reflect off the mirror's surface and bounce back. Some light may also pass through the mirror, depending on its transparency. Overall, the mirror will predominantly reflect the light due to its smooth and reflective surface.
What happens to a red object when light is shone on to it?
When red light shines on a red object, the object will reflect the red light and appear red. If white light shines on a red object, the object will absorb all colors except red, which it will reflect, making it appear red as well.
What happens when you shine a green light to a green object?
When you shine a green light on a green object, the object will reflect the green light and appear brighter or more vivid in color. Green objects absorb most of the other colors of light and reflect green light, so they will be most visibly affected by green light.
