← ScienceWhich consequence results when optical flats aren't parallel?
A)Irregular interference fringe patterns✓
B)Polarization remains mostly unaffected
C)Diffraction effects become minimized
D)Laser coherence length gets amplified
💡 Explanation
Irregular fringes appear because when the optical flats are not parallel, the air gap varies, and therefore the **interference** condition changes across the surface, rather than uniform fringes with parallel flats at a precisely controlled distance.
