← ScienceWhich consequence results when increased surface irregularities disrupt thin-film layering?
A)Decreased destructive interference, higher transmission✓
B)Increased refractive index, lower reflection
C)Enhanced constructive interference, polarization shift
D)Suppressed diffraction pattern, beam collimation
💡 Explanation
Increased surface irregularities cause varied film thicknesses; therefore, the destructive interference decreases because thickness variations reduce the uniformity needed for complete cancellation, rather than producing higher orders of diffraction.
