Which phenomenon compromises data recovery in holographic storage when media degrades?

💡 Explanation

Speckle noise obscures bit patterns because random nanoscale variations within the degrading holographic media introduce variations in the optical path length, causing destructive interference. Therefore, data recovery is compromised, rather than by dispersion, fatigue, or volume reduction.
