← ScienceWhich consequence results when the oil film thickness on a wet road interferes with sunlight?
A)Suppressed vehicle tire rolling resistance
B)Enhanced road surface temperature variations
C)Combustion runaway in nearby engines
D)Visible rainbow-like color patterns✓
💡 Explanation
Rainbow patterns are generated because **thin film interference** causes varying wavelengths of sunlight to constructively and destructively interfere based on the film's thickness; therefore, color patterns appear, rather than uniform diffuse reflection, due to the specific wavelengths reinforced.
