Which visual effect occurs when an oil film contaminates asphalt?

💡 Explanation

Iridescent bands appear because thin-film interference splits white light into component wavelengths; therefore color bands appear, rather than other effects like melting, because the oil selectively enhances some wavelengths depending on thickness.
