Which outcome results from imperfections in X-ray mirrors?

💡 Explanation

Imperfect mirrors cause path length variations; therefore **destructive interference** reduces beam alignment and coherence, resulting in decreased constructive interference, because some waves cancel, rather than constructively reinforcing. This decreases alignment.
