← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when designing multi-layer dielectric mirrors?
A)Constructive interference maximizes reflectivity✓
B)Material absorption increases drastically
C)Refraction angles become highly polarized
D)Fresnel equations accurately predict reflectance
💡 Explanation
Constructive interference causes high reflectivity at the design wavelength because alternating layers create phase-matched reflections, therefore maximizing the mirror's performance is most efficient, rather than relying on material properties alone for desired reflectance.
