As a young boy i had a life goal, just like any other boy. But mine was different, unlike the other boys who wanted to become president or become a professional athlete, my goal was to become the man who blew the biggest bubble ever. This goal came about because of a book i received when i was 3. The book was entitled,
Guiness Book of World Records. In that book there was already someone who had created an enormous bubble. When i saw it i marveled at the amazing colors that the bubble created and i wanted to make an even bigger one. Although that dream i had is not what i am interested in doing now, bubbles are still a part of my life, thanks to physics. Recently, i learned exactly how bubbles get their color. This occurs because of the 2 different walls of the bubble. When a wave of light hits the outer wall of the bubble it reflects back to our eye, but some of the wave penetrates this outer wall and bounces off the inner wall of the bubble and back to our eye. On the way back to our eye the waves of light interfere. When there is constructive interference we see color and when there is destructive interference we do not see color. This is why bubbles are so nice to look at and fun to play with.
