Answer:
Correct Answer: 2. (c)
Solution:
- (c) We know that the colours for which the condition of constructive interference is satisfied are observed in a given region of the film. The path difference between the light waves reaching the eye changes when the position of the eye is changed. Therefore, colours appear on a thin soap film or soap bubbles due to the phenomenon of interference.
