← ScienceWhich outcome occurs during thin-film interference when reflections are in-phase?
A)Constructive interference and increased reflection✓
B)Destructive interference and reduced reflection
C)Beam splitting at material interfaces
D)Total internal reflection at film's boundaries
💡 Explanation
Constructive interference dominates when reflected light waves are in-phase, creating brighter reflection because wave amplitudes add. This phenomenon causes increased reflection rather than destructive interference weakening light, therefore total internal reflection or beam splitting do not occur.
