Which phenomenon degrades image contrast when light scatters through fog?

💡 Explanation

Fog contains particles causing depolarization, thus scrambling the light's original polarization state because multiple scattering events randomize the polarization. Therefore reduced polarization contrast occurs, rather than greater coherence or chromatic aberration.
