Which outcome occurs when humidity strongly affects spectrometer optics?

💡 Explanation

As humidity increases, water absorption causes the **thin film interference** within anti-reflection coatings to destructively interfere, reducing their effectiveness at all wavelengths. Thus, fringe patterns are less visible because coatings perform more poorly, therefore option A, rather than improving resolution.
