Sometimes you can see the 'rainbow' in a thin layer of oil on the ground. Explain why this happens.
The rainbow pattern is formed due to thin film interference at the front and back surfaces of the oil.
The rainbow pattern is due to the properties of reflection of the oil, which disperse light.
The rainbow pattern is due to the water vapor sitting on the oil and acting like the water droplets in the sky.
The rainbow pattern is due to refraction between the air and oil.
The rainbow pattern is due to the molecular structure of the oil, which absorbs white light and re-emits the rainbow pattern.
The rainbow pattern is only visible during hot, humid days.
The rainbow pattern is visible only in desert-like conditions.
A soap bubble is essentially a thin film of water surrounded by air. The colors you see in soap bubbles are produced by interference. What visible wavelengths of light are strongly reflected from a 390-nm-thick soap bubble? What color would such a soap bubble appear to be?
Sound exits a diffraction horn loudspeaker through a rectangular opening like a small doorway. Such a loudspeaker is mounted outside on a pole. In winter, when the temperature is 273 K, the diffraction angle θ has a value of 13o. What is the diffraction angle for the same sound on a summer day when the temperature is 311 K?

- (a) A narrow beam of light containing yellow (580 nm) and green (550 nm} wavelengths goes from polystyrene to air, striking the surface at a 30.0° incident angle. What is the angle between the colors when they emerge?

The tiny carved dashes and dots are digital encoded data, usually music. But the spacing of the dashes and dots have an interesting side effect: they will selectively re-enforce the reflection of some colors, while suppressing other colors. This made CD's very colorful, without the need for pigment. What concept BEST explains what is creating the colors reflected from CD's? a.refraction b. relativity c. interference d. polarization e. diffractionarrow_forwardIn the figure, two isotropic point sources of light (5, and S₂) are separated by distance 2.60 um along ay axds and emit in phase at wavelength 920 nm and at the same amplitude.
