Which consequence results when destructive interference affects surface plasmon polaritons?

A)Reduced optical transmission through the metal
B)Increased electron-phonon collision frequency
C)Enhanced localized surface heating occurs
D)Increased radiative decay quantum efficiency

💡 Explanation

Reduced optical transmission occurs because destructive interference diminishes the excited surface plasmon's amplitude along the propagation length, affecting its exponentially decaying wave function. Therefore, less light passes through, rather than enhanced heating or altered decay.
