Which outcome occurs when diffraction gratings have defects?

💡 Explanation

Defects in diffraction gratings cause unwanted interference because they introduce path differences beyond the intended grating spacing; therefore, unexpected spectral lines appear, rather than improved resolution or intensity changes which would occur for coherent sources.
