Why do thin films show rainbow colors?
Light reflected from different surfaces of a thin film can interfere. Different wavelengths reinforce or cancel depending on the film thickness and viewing angle.

A lens bends light by refraction. Its curved surfaces redirect rays so they converge toward or spread away from particular points.

Why does a mirror reverse left and right?
A mirror actually reverses the front-to-back direction. We often interpret that as left-right reversal because we mentally imagine turning around to face ourselves.
