← ScienceWhich consequence results when chromatic aberration impacts interferometer mirrors?
A)Reduced fringe visibility during path matching✓
B)Increased signal-to-noise ratio overall
C)Improved resolution of surface features
D)Enhanced phase shift measurement accuracy
💡 Explanation
Reduced fringe visibility occurs because chromatic aberration causes different wavelengths to focus at different points; therefore, the **superposition principle** creates blurred interference patterns, rather than sharply defined fringes, because the wavelengths do not constructively interfere perfectly.
