Which outcome occurs when contaminants change a telescope objective lens surface height?

💡 Explanation

Reduced resolution occurs because tiny height variations induce phase shifts in incoming light rays resulting in destructive interference. Therefore, fringes appear rather than enhanced image quality which would require constructive interference and consistent focal lengths.
