Which outcome occurs when a thin oil film rests on water?

A)Iridescence produced from thin-film interference
B)Substrate cooling due to enthalpy absorption
C)Fluid convection from temperature gradients
D)Refraction mitigated via index matching

💡 Explanation

Iridescence results because constructive and destructive thin-film interference varies with wavelength, therefore colors appear, rather than a uniform reflection. Interference patterns depend on thickness and refractive indices.
