A)Iridescent colors appear visibly✓
B)Rapid oxidation accelerates significantly
C)Surface tension increases linearly
D)Refractive index drops sharply
💡 Explanation
Iridescent colors appear on the soap film resulting from thin film interference, because light waves reflect off the front and back surfaces, causing constructive and destructive interference. Therefore, certain wavelengths are amplified, rather than a change material properties.
