Which phenomenon results when imperfections create optical path variations?

💡 Explanation

Speckle patterns arise due to constructive and destructive interference of light waves scattered by random variations, because surface roughness causes phase differences; therefore a speckle pattern forms, rather than an increased refractive index due to material properties or an amplification chromatic aberrations.
