Which outcome occurs when atmospheric turbulence disrupts coherence?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric turbulence induces rapid phase fluctuations across a beam during atmospheric propagation. The mechanism of **wavefront distortion** causes increased divergence because the initially coherent wavefront breaks down; therefore, beam quality degrades, rather than improves under these conditions.
