Which optical effect manifests when a thin-film coating reduces reflection?

💡 Explanation

Destructive interference occurs because reflections from the top and bottom of the film layer have opposite phases, therefore cancelling each other out. The film thickness is chosen to produce this, rather than constructive interference under other conditions.
