← ScienceWhich optical consequence results when adaptive optics fail?
A)Reduced image resolution due to aberrations✓
B)Increased chromatic dispersion, causing blur
C)Increased signal to noise from amplification
D)Reduced etendue affecting light collection
💡 Explanation
Reduced image quality occurs after device failure because adaptive optics uses wavefront correction using **adaptive interference** to precisely counteract atmospheric aberrations. Therefore, image blur becomes significant because the interference patterns are no longer optimally adjusted, rather than improvements in image quality due to light management.
