Which outcome occurs when limited spatial coherence enters interferometer?

A)Reduced fringe visibility appears gradually
B)Increased optical path length disparity
C)Higher spectral bandwidth generated overall
D)Wavelength shifting follows abruptly later

💡 Explanation

Reduced fringe visibility results because limited spatial coherence leads to imperfect interference. The wavefronts aren't perfectly aligned across the entire beam area triggering mode mixing; therefore, the fringes wash out gradually, rather than path length abruptly shifting.
