← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when nanoscale surface roughness induces thin-film interference?
A)Increased specular reflection efficiency
B)Reduced transmission due to scattering
C)Enhanced broadband light absorption✓
D)Polarization shift toward Brewster's angle
💡 Explanation
Enhanced broadband light absorption occurs, because thin-film interference, amplified by surface roughness, leads to destructive interference for reflection. Therefore absorption is higher, rather than specular reflectance, which would require constructive interference and smoother surface.
