← ScienceWhich consequence results when an optical flat shows fringes?
A)Air wedges cause constructive interference✓
B)Wavelength exceeds the surface separation
C)Total internal reflection becomes impossible
D)Refractive index becomes position dependent
💡 Explanation
Constructive interference depends upon the air wedge causing specific path differences. Bright fringe arises because waves add in phase, therefore bright fringes appear rather than complete transmission; a varying refractive index would distort, not create clear, fringes.
