← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when atmospheric turbulence distorts wavefronts?
A)Speckle patterns form in telescopes✓
B)Chromatic aberration reduces image contrast
C)Photon absorption increases exponentially
D)Rayleigh scattering dominates signal loss
💡 Explanation
Speckle forms because variations in air density introduce random path length differences, causing constructive and destructive interference. Therefore, a speckled image results, rather than increased absorption or chromatic aberration, which are related to wavelength-specific effects.
