Add a one-line explanation of what this file represents
Description The separate RGB channels of a color photo of a soap film clearly show the interference fringes for the different wavelength components of the visible spectrum; for shorter wavelengths, the fringes of equal thickness of the wedge-shaped film are more closely spaced. One can also see the origin of the interference colors in white-light illumination: at thicknessess where there is destructive interference for a primary color, the film has the complementary color of that wavelength: yellow for blue, magenta for green, and cyan for red.
