Which outcome occurs when oil floats on water?

💡 Explanation

Thin-film interference causes the colorful bands seen because light reflects off the top and bottom oil surfaces, causing constructive and destructive interference. This phenomenon creates color bands, therefore the bands appear because of interference rather than emulsification or increased viscosity.
