1. Why do you see colors when you look at reflected light from a CD or DVD disk, or when you look at a soap bubble or oil film on water?
2. What do you think causes the colors on the artwork panels on the side of HLS2 (Health Sciences building) which change with time of day and the angle from which you view them?

Explanation:

1.The light reflected from the CD/DVD or soap bubble or oil film forms an interference with the surrounding light. The inference both constructive and destructive making some color appear and some disappear.

2.As light behaves as wave it will interfere differently at different angles. At certain angle it will interfere constructively and at certain angle it will interfere destructively making some color brighter and some disappear. So, at different angles the color are different.

Interference pattern is responsible for the formation of different colour when a light reflected from CD or soap bubble.

We can see colors when we look at reflected light from a CD or DVD disk, or a soap bubble or oil film on water because of the interference pattern. The colors that we see on the CD are created due to the reflection of white light from ridges in the metal. When light passes through something with many small ridges or scratches, we often see rainbow colors and interesting patterns.

These patterns are called interference patterns. White light is made up of 7 colors i.e. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. The CD converts or separates the white light into 7 colors so we can conclude that interference pattern is responsible for the formation of different colour when a light reflected from CD OR soap bubble.
