← ScienceWhich outcome reduces interferometer precision when path lengths exceed coherence?
A)Fringe visibility degrades sharply✓
B)Spatial filtering becomes ineffective
C)Chromatic aberration intensifies rapidly
D)Non-linear effects become significant
💡 Explanation
Fringe visibility falls because constructive and destructive interference averages as path length differences exceed the source's coherence length, blurring fringes therefore precision degrades. This occurs rather than non-linear effects which require high intensity.
