Which outcome occurs when broadband light reflects off a thin oil film?

A)Colors appear due to thin-film interference
B)Complete destructive interference across spectrum
C)Reflected light is uniformly intensified
D)Oil becomes transparent to all frequencies

💡 Explanation

Colors appear because constructive and destructive interference depends on wavelength and film thickness. This thin-film interference creates varying colors, rather than uniform destruction or intensification because different wavelengths interfere differently depending on the incident angle.
