← ScienceWhich outcome results when a thin oil film contaminates an Anti-Reflective coated lens?
A)Reduced glare, unchanged image clarity
B)Increased chromatic aberration occurs
C)Newton's rings are made visible✓
D)The coating's index matching fails.
💡 Explanation
Newton's rings appear because interference between reflections from the oil film's top and bottom surfaces create constructive and destructive regions; therefore visible rings form, rather than glare reduction or similar effects, because of the oil film's geometry.
