The Science of Iridescence

The video explores the phenomenon of iridescence, where surfaces like bubbles and insect wings display rainbow colors due to light interference. It explains the mechanisms of thin film and structural coloration, using Morpho butterflies as an example. The video delves into wave interference, highlighting constructive and destructive types, and how they affect color perception. It also discusses thin film interference in bubbles, explaining how color changes occur as the film thins and evaporates.
