Which consequence results when imperfections disrupt constructive interference in a metamaterial filter?

💡 Explanation

Reduced transmittance occurs because imperfections limit the constructive interference, decreasing the filter's efficiency via destructive interference. The filter passes less light at the desired wavelength, rather than thermal conductivity or resonance, because interference depends on coherent wavefronts.
