Which outcome reduces the accuracy of LIDAR systems?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric turbulence introduces variations in the refractive index, causing beam decoherence. This leads to phase differences across the beam. Therefore, wavefront distortion occurs rather than accurate distance measurement because of beam steering from refraction.
