Which phenomenon causes reduced reflection from coated optics?

💡 Explanation

Reduced reflection arises from destructive "thin film interference." The coating thickness is chosen so reflected waves cancel because of a half-wavelength path difference; therefore, reflection diminishes rather than enhancing bright fringes under other conditions.
