Black Oil - Why Does It Appear All Colors?
does this make sense? the oil it acts like a thin film. The light of different wavelengths (colors) refract and reflect at different angles, and the reflections add up or cancel each other out by superposition depending on the wavelength and angle.- Marilena1983
