Which consequence results when reflective coating non-uniformity induces destructive interference?

💡 Explanation

Non-uniformity causes variations in optical path length, and thus destructive interference reduces the reflected signal uniformity locally because the waves cancel out rather than constructively adding; therefore the coating's reflection weakens.
