Which outcome results when attempting to read a scratched, multilayer optical disc?

💡 Explanation

Data corruption occurs because light reflecting from different layers undergoes thin film interference (both constructive and destructive), therefore some wavelengths combine reinforcing errors, rather than reflections being uniform aiding integrity.
