← ScienceWhich mechanism causes speckle patterns during laser surface treatment?
A)Coherent beam interference✓
B)Incoherent photon collision
C)Plasma-induced breakdown
D)Thermal lens distortion
💡 Explanation
Speckle arises because **coherent beam interference** occurs when the laser beam reflects off the rough surface, so scattered waves interfere constructively and destructively causing bright and dark spots, therefore, speckle is observed, rather than uniform illumination related to other optical effects under different conditions.
