← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a high-power laser strikes intensely scattering media?
A)Speckle patterns form via interference✓
B)Single-mode lasing ceases immediately
C)Parametric down-conversion initiates spontaneously
D)Chromatic dispersion approaches zero limit
💡 Explanation
Speckle patterns are formed when coherent laser light is scattered by a rough surface or disordered medium, because multiple scattered waves interfere with each other resulting in intensity fluctuations. Therefore, speckle forms rather than, for example single-mode cessation which requires cavity changes.
