← ScienceWhich consequence results when ambient light reflects off an oil film?
A)Constructive thin-film interference increases colors✓
B)Reflected beams undergo total internal reflection
C)Increased polarization occurs at Brewster's angle
D)Refraction is not wavelength-dependent significantly
💡 Explanation
Constructive thin-film interference increases the intensity of certain wavelengths as beams reflecting off the top and bottom surfaces interfere. This result varies depending on oil thickness; therefore specific colors amplify, rather than light totally transmitting through the film.
