Which outcome often results when thin-film coated optics degrade?

💡 Explanation

Increased light scattering occurs because surface defects initiate **thin-film interference**, leading to the destructive interference of reflected coherent light at certain wavelengths, therefore creating color shifts rather than stability because material properties dominate.
