What happens at a flat black interface in optics?

And that would be relevant in what manner? Does Hecht discuss
interference at flat black interfaces?

Nobody is questioning the laws of physics or Hecht's writings. Many are
questioning your extensions to your own models. Name-dropping and
invoking the sacred laws of physics do not automatically validate your
models.

Did you ever wonder why all of the basic phenomena, both optical and RF,
were known to the "ancients", yet you are the first one to pull
everything together in this miraculous new version of a reflection model?
