Why do soap bubbles show rainbow colors?

Soap bubbles display rainbow colors due to thin-film interference. Light reflects off both the outer and inner surface of the soap film, and the two reflected waves interfere with each other. Depending on the film's thickness, certain wavelengths are amplified while others cancel out, producing shifting iridescent colors across the bubble's surface.
