← ScienceWhich consequence results when atmospheric turbulence disrupts stellar beam coherence?
A)Speckle patterns degrade image resolution✓
B)Refraction causes chromatic aberration
C)Polarization induces signal attenuation
D)Constructive interference produces ghosting
💡 Explanation
Speckle patterns degrade image resolution because turbulence introduces random phase variations across the wavefront, thereby reducing spatial coherence through atmospheric scattering. Therefore, speckle occurs rather than simple aberrations, which are related to imperfections, or attenuation due to absorption.
