← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when two coherent laser beams intersect a liquid’s surface?
A)Interference fringes form on the surface✓
B)Rayleigh scattering increases dramatically
C)The liquid undergoes rapid vaporization
D)Surface tension is significantly reduced
💡 Explanation
Interference fringes will form due to wave superposition. Because the beams are coherent, constructive and destructive interference produce visible bands. Therefore, visible fringes will be seen, rather than heightened scattering; thermal effects would require much higher intensity.
