← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a thin film's thickness approaches wavelengths of incident light?
A)Increased constructive interference occurs✓
B)Refractive index becomes negligible
C)Total internal reflection is promoted
D)Chromatic aberration is spontaneously corrected
💡 Explanation
Increased constructive interference occurs because path differences become significant relative to wavelengths; therefore, particular colours reflect strongly, rather than transmission, because other wavelengths might destructively interfere, cancelling out.
