← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when multilayer dielectric mirrors experience water condensation?
A)Decreased destructive interference bandwidth✓
B)Increased specular reflection angle
C)Increased substrate thermal conduction
D)Decreased thin film mechanical stress
💡 Explanation
Water condensation introduces refractive index variations into the structure; therefore, decreased destructive interference bandwidth occurs which degrades reflectance, because the intended Fabry-Pérot mechanism is disrupted rather than increasing reflection angles.
