Which visual artifact results when tolerances prevent thin-film interference minimization?

💡 Explanation

Newton's rings appear because uneven air gaps introduce varying path differences, leading to constructive and destructive interference patterns, therefore causing the rings, rather than other optical artifacts because those arise from material properties or interface angles.
