Which consequence results when an aperture limits coherence?

💡 Explanation

A smaller aperture increases diffraction because the Huygens-Fresnel principle predicts wider spread from smaller sources; therefore, diffraction widening increases, rather than intensity loss or aberration compensation, specifically due to the limited spatially coherent wavefronts.
