Which consequence results when impedance discontinuities interfere with fiber optic propagation?

💡 Explanation

Increased Rayleigh scattering loss occurs due to impedance mismatches creating reflection and refraction. This disrupts wavefront coherence because of increased scattering, therefore increasing the loss rather than other effects based on controlled wave modification.
