← ScienceWhich consequence results when increased surface imperfections on optical lenses cause distortions?
A)Destructive interference reduces image clarity✓
B)Chromatic aberration alters focal lengths
C)Refraction index matches surrounding medium
D)TIR redirects all incident waves
💡 Explanation
Destructive interference occurs because variations in surface height introduce differing path lengths, and therefore phase shifts, for reflected light. Therefore, the image loses contrast because areas are canceled by destructive interference, rather than having uniform amplitude contributions.
