Abstract

This talk will outline several chemical and physical properties of soap bubbles that are both very useful and very beautiful. While soap bubbles are featured in painting of famous artists, none of them captured and presented their aesthetic features. We will deal with the formation of soap bubbles, as well as with the reason for their colors and fast thickness changes.
