Which distortion results when atmospheric thermal gradients reduce coherence?

💡 Explanation

Turbulence induces random refraction impacting coherence, thereby causing unpredictable **beam wander**, because heat gradients shift refractivity; therefore, beam directions deviate, rather than predictable shifts such fringes under controlled experimental conditions.
