Line 5: [[File:Girl blowing bubbles.jpg\|thumb\|Girl blowing bubbles.]] [[File:Soapbubbles1b.jpg\|thumb\|Several bubbles make a foam.]] A '''soap bubble''' is an extremely thin [[soap film\|film]] of [[soap]]y or [[detergent]] and water enclosing air that forms a hollow [[sphere]] with an [[iridescent]] surface. Soap bubbles usually last for only a few seconds before bursting, either on their own or on contact with another object. They are often used for children's enjoyment, but they are also used in artistic [[performance]]s. Assembling several bubbles results in [[foam]]. When light shines onto a bubble it appears to change colour. Unlike those seen in a rainbow, which arise from differential refraction, the colours seen in a soap bubble arise from light [[wave interference]], reflecting off the front and back surfaces of the thin soap film. Depending on the thickness of the film, different colours interfere constructively and destructively.
