← ScienceWhich effect dominates when monochromatic light encounters nanoscale grating?
A)Constructive interference creates intense reflections✓
B)Refraction generates multiple color fringes
C)Doppler shift alters observed wavelength
D)Diffraction eliminates all transmission pathways
💡 Explanation
Constructive interference increases reflection intensity at a specific angle because the path difference between waves diffracted from adjacent grating lines is multiples of wavelengths. Therefore, a strong directional reflectance peak results, rather than refraction or Doppler shift.
