← ScienceWhich optical effect manifests when a thin-film coating reduces reflection?
A)Destructive interference of reflected light✓
B)Constructive interference of transmitted light
C)Diffraction around coating surface edges
D)Polarization by crystalline coating structure
💡 Explanation
Destructive interference occurs because reflections from the top and bottom of the film layer have opposite phases, therefore cancelling each other out. The film thickness is chosen to produce this, rather than constructive interference under other conditions.
