← ScienceWhich optical outcome occurs when a laser beam passes through microscopic slits?
A)An interference pattern is produced.✓
B)Refraction bends the light path.
C)The beam undergoes total internal reflection.
D)Polarization rotates the light's orientation.
💡 Explanation
An interference pattern forms because diffraction bends the laser light at the slits. Constructive and destructive interference result in patterns. Therefore, bands of high and low intensity result, rather than exclusive refraction or polarization.
