The interference of green photon to red photon will cause:

Correct answer: B. Interference

  • A. Spectrum
  • B. Interference
  • C. Diffraction
  • D. No effect

Explanation

When photons of different colors, such as green and red, interfere with each other, they can exhibit interference patterns. This interference can lead to constructive interference (where the amplitudes of the waves add up) or destructive interference (where the amplitudes cancel each other out), depending on the phase relationship between the waves.Therefore, when green photons interfere with red photons, they can produce interference patterns

About Optics

Light is studied through reflection, refraction, dispersion, interference, diffraction and polarization, linking ray behavior with its wave nature. Questions may involve mirrors, lenses, optical instruments, refractive index and image formation, while geometrical optics deals with rays and wave optics explains effects such as interference and diffraction.
