← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when monochromatic light passes through slits?
A)Constructive and destructive interference occurs✓
B)The light's frequency spectrum is broadened
C)Photons undergo Compton scattering events
D)Refraction forms real and virtual images
💡 Explanation
Interference patterns form because superposition of waves leads to additive (constructive) or subtractive (destructive) effects. Waves from each slit interfere; therefore, an interference pattern is formed, rather than broadening or scattering of light, or image formation.
