← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a thin oil film on wet asphalt?
A)Rainbow-like pattern reflecting ambient colors.✓
B)Immediate vaporization of thinner oil patches.
C)Uniform gray appearance of the surface.
D)Enhanced frictional grip between tires.
💡 Explanation
A rainbow pattern arises from thin-film interference, because light reflecting from the oil's top and bottom surfaces interferes constructively and destructively depending on wavelength. Therefore, colors are separated, rather than mixed gray, or having thickness affect vaporization or tire grip.
