Which consequence results when microscopic surface imperfections cause thin-film interference?

💡 Explanation

When imperfections corrupt thin films, it disrupts constructive or destructive interference, because the **phase differences** are no longer uniform. Therefore, anti-reflective properties are degraded, rather than enhanced performance that needs precise interference conditions.
