Which outcome occurs when a thin-film coating on anti-reflective eyewear exhibits spatially varying thickness?

💡 Explanation

Iridescent color banding is observed because variations in thickness alter the effective path difference of reflected light, undergoing thin-film interference. Therefore, different wavelengths constructively interfere at different locations, rather than uniform behavior, due to mismatched thicknesses.
