← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when two out-of-phase coherent laser beams combine?
A)Destructive interference creates minimal intensity✓
B)Refraction causes beam direction change
C)Polarization alters the light's orientation
D)Constructive amplification increases overall power
💡 Explanation
Destructive interference reduces light intensity where waves are out of phase because superposition results in cancellation. Therefore, minimal light results, rather than amplification. Refraction and polarization are different phenomena.
