← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when monochromatic light encounters closely spaced slits?
A)Constructive and destructive interference pattern✓
B)Photoelectric current increases linearly
C)Photons undergo Compton scattering shift
D)Light's frequency undergoes a redshift
💡 Explanation
An interference pattern forms because of Huygens's principle combined with the superposition principle; therefore, alternating bright and dark fringes occur, rather than continuous illumination, because waves add constructively or destructively depending on path length differences.
