← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when thin-film interference affects spectrometer accuracy?
A)Wavelength miscalibration creates spectral artifacts✓
B)Decreased thermal noise improves resolution
C)Stray emission causes false positives
D)Detector oversaturation limits dynamic range
💡 Explanation
Wavelength miscalibration occurs because constructive and destructive thin-film interference alters detected intensities; therefore, spectral artifacts are observed, rather than improved noise or unrelated detector behaviors under normal spectrometer operating constraints.
