← ScienceWhich interference pattern results if coherence length decreases in spectral interferometry?
A)Fringe visibility reduces gradually✓
B)Fringes shift towards the center
C)Fringe spacing remains constant
D)Noise level decreases drastically
💡 Explanation
Decreasing coherence length reduces the range a maintained phase relationship, which decreases constructive/destructive interference definition: Fringe visibility fades due to superposition because spectral interference relies on consistent path differences; therefore, fringe visibility decreases, rather than shifting or remaining constant.
