Which outcome occurs when imperfections alter the diffraction grating's periodicity?

💡 Explanation

Spurious side peaks appear because non-uniform groove spacing causes constructive interference at unintended angles, which shifts the original wavelengths slightly. Therefore, extra peaks form, rather than intensified intensity, due to unwanted interference patterns.
