← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when thin-film anti-reflective coating degrades?
A)Enhanced specular reflection occurs✓
B)Refracted light dispersion decreases
C)Chromatic aberration is fully eliminated
D)Polarization effects become negligible
💡 Explanation
Increased reflection happens because destructive interference reduces without correct thickness and refractive indices. Degradation alters path differences, undermining the mechanism of destructive interference; therefore, more specular reflection occurs, rather than complete chromatic correction or negligible polarization.
