Which consequence results when spatially coherent light traverses etched diffraction gratings?

A)Constructive and destructive interference appear
B)Only chromatic aberration becomes noticeable
C)Wavelength remains unchanged after passing
D)Path differences cause minimal distortions

💡 Explanation

Diffraction gratings cause path differences in wavefronts, and this induces diffraction. The resulting **interference** pattern creates bright (constructive) and dark (destructive) fringes. Therefore, these patterns appear, rather than simpler effects because the grating's spacing affects wavelengths.
