- Wouldn't this video be more effective if it actually showed the experiment with a soap film and light passing through it?(5 votes)

I don't get it myself why the videos are chopped up into 2 min vids(1 vote)
- Is this the cause for combination colours as well? That is, would we end up seeing purple because the film was the thickness that cancelled green, so only red and blue remained, causing purple?(1 vote)
- the video was a bit confusing,because i couldn't get the reflecting part(1 vote)
