← ScienceWhich consequence results when spatially coherent light traverses etched diffraction gratings?
A)Constructive and destructive interference appear✓
B)Only chromatic aberration becomes noticeable
C)Wavelength remains unchanged after passing
D)Path differences cause minimal distortions
💡 Explanation
Diffraction gratings cause path differences in wavefronts, and this induces diffraction. The resulting **interference** pattern creates bright (constructive) and dark (destructive) fringes. Therefore, these patterns appear, rather than simpler effects because the grating's spacing affects wavelengths.
