Which consequence results when irregularities in a telescope's lens cause wavefront distortion?

💡 Explanation

Reduced resolving power occurs because *wavefront interference* produces speckle patterns that blur the image. Therefore, telescopes using adaptive optics seek to minimize atmospheric distortion rather than improve detection, because resolution is limited by the quality of interference.
