← ScienceWhich effect diminishes when injecting incoherent light into metamaterial?
A)Negative refractive index weakens✓
B)Superconductivity emerges spontaneously
C)Thermal expansion coefficient increases
D)Second harmonic generation strengthens
💡 Explanation
The negative refractive index depends on constructive interference, because temporal or spatial incoherence disrupts the **phase matching**, resulting in a reduced or absent negative refractive index; therefore, A is correct, rather than enhanced harmonic generation because incoherent light inhibits nonlinear processes.
