Bubbles The brilliant colors observed in soap bubbles occur as a result of light reflecting from the inner and outer surfaces of the bubble. The thickness of a soap bubble is about 0.000004 meter. In the Real World Scientific Notation How can you use the powers of 10 to write 0.000004 ? You will see how to solve this problem in Example 1.
