← ScienceWhich consequence results when imperfections distort progressive waves?
A)Destructive thin-film interference patterns appear✓
B)Increased chromatic aberration develops
C)Refractive index becomes uniform
D)Increased Fresnel diffraction dominates
💡 Explanation
Destructive interference creates dark patterns in thin films; because light waves bounce off top and bottom surfaces, the OPD mismatch will vary due to imperfections. This causes areas of destructive interference to appear, therefore dark patterns show as 'missing' colors, rather than increased diffraction.
