Which outcome occurs when imperfections cause non-uniform layer thickness in anti-reflective lens coatings?

💡 Explanation

Non-uniform thickness causes variations in the phase change upon reflection, leading to destructive interference within slightly different wavelength ranges, because the path difference varies. Therefore, some colours are selectively enhanced, rather than uniform cancellation.
