Which effect arises when water flow causes oscillatory behavior within an industrial interferometer?

💡 Explanation

Flow-induced density fluctuations change water's refractive index. This directly modifies optical pathlengths, which manifests as fringe shifts via constructive and destructive interference because the change results in phase differences; therefore options B, C, and D do not result but path variation does.
