Which consequence results when wavefront distortion decreases temporal coherence?

💡 Explanation

Speckle contrast diminishes because reduced temporal coherence broadens the effective spectral linewidth, resulting in averaging of interference patterns. Therefore, speckle vanishes rather than becoming brighter; this occurs due to averaging, rather than sharper interference from better collimation.
