Which consequence results when the spatial coherence is degraded in a barcode scanner's laser diode?

💡 Explanation

Reduced depth of field occurs because spatial coherence dictates beam divergence. Degraded coherence causes increased divergence, therefore requiring the barcode to be within a narrower, more precise focus range, rather than other intensity or processing impacts.
