Which image degradation results when partial coherence illuminates objects?

💡 Explanation

Speckle arises when partially coherent light interferes at the image plane via constructive and destructive interference, because the surface roughness introduces variations in phase. Therefore, speckle compromises resolution rather than chromatic aberration, which stems from variations in refractive index.
