Which outcome occurs during thin-film interference when reflections are in-phase?

💡 Explanation

Constructive interference dominates when reflected light waves are in-phase, creating brighter reflection because wave amplitudes add. This phenomenon causes increased reflection rather than destructive interference weakening light, therefore total internal reflection or beam splitting do not occur.
