Which consequence results when optical flats aren't parallel?

💡 Explanation

Irregular fringes appear because when the optical flats are not parallel, the air gap varies, and therefore the **interference** condition changes across the surface, rather than uniform fringes with parallel flats at a precisely controlled distance.
