← ScienceWhich consequence results when high coherence laser light reflects off a rough surface?
A)Speckle pattern contrast increases sharply✓
B)Brewster's angle shifts significantly
C)Index matching becomes less critical
D)Total internal reflection becomes dominant
💡 Explanation
A speckle pattern emerges because random variations cause constructive and destructive *interference*. High coherence amplifies the effect; therefore a speckle pattern of higher contrast appears, rather than a weaker pattern of lower contrast when lower coherence is used.
