Which optical outcome occurs when broadband light encounters thin-film optics?

💡 Explanation

Passage through thin films creates optical path differences leading to interference. Different wavelengths undergo constructive or destructive interference, forming colored reflections because phase matching varies across spectrum due to film thickness, rather than uniform dispersion.
