A soap bubble is essentially a very thin film of water (nn = 1.33) surrounded by air. The colors that you see in soap bubbles are produced by interference.
What visible wavelengths of light are strongly reflected from a
388-nmnm-thick soap bubble?
Hint: Think about the reflection phase shifts at
both boundaries.
What color would such a soap bubble appear to be?
