Why Are Soap Bubbles So Colorful?

From the creator

Why are soap bubbles rainbow colored? Iridescence explained both by wave theory and QED (quantum electrodynamics). Hi! I'm Jade. I'm an Aussie with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Physics. After three years and over 100 lab sessions, I realized I'm terrible at experiments. So now I make physics and maths videos on YouTube :) Check out my channel and subscribe if you like: *SUBSCRIBE* https://www.youtube.com/c/upandatom *Let's be friends :)* TWITTER: https://twitter.com/upndatom?lang=en *Other Videos You Might Like!* Are Forcefields Possible? https://youtu.be/ttno673mt2w Math, When Are You Going to Use It? https://youtu.be/KX608C2RZek Would Physics Be the Same in a Mirror Universe? https://youtu.be/HNxss6QKu60 Want to know more?
