Which outcome results when adaptive optics functions incorrectly during long-exposure astronomical observation?

💡 Explanation

Increased atmospheric turbulence blurring occurs when adaptive optics fail because the wavefront correction is not applied correctly through suboptimal calculations; the **Zernike decomposition** cannot correct for atmospheric distortions. Therefore, the image blurs rather than becoming sharp, and other telescope systems are unaffected.
