Which outcome occurs when spatially incoherent illumination impacts a Michelson interferometer?

💡 Explanation

Reduced fringe visibility occurs because **mutual coherence** between interfering beams decreases with spatial incoherence, therefore fringes wash out locally rather than showing enhanced signal strength even with optical losses.
