SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the phenomenon of bubbles turning black when they pop, explained through the principles of diffraction and interference, specifically referencing Young's Experiment. The black appearance is attributed to thin film interference, where varying thicknesses of the bubble film create different light interference patterns. This optical effect results in the perception of black when the bubble bursts, as the film's structure collapses and disrupts the light waves.
