← ScienceWhich outcome results when an optical flat rests imperfectly upon another surface?
A)Interference fringes reveal surface irregularities✓
B)Total internal reflection increases clarity
C)Chromatic aberration enhances color separation
D)Diffraction patterns blur the interface
💡 Explanation
Interference fringes indicate imperfections because the **interference** between reflected waves creates constructive and destructive patterns proportional to the distance separating the surfaces. Therefore, interference reveals surface topological variations, rather than total reflection or other optical effets, due to surface geometry.
