Which resolution limit occurs when imaging through turbulent media?

💡 Explanation

Speckle blurring arises because atmospheric turbulence induces random phase variations across the wavefront, decorrelating light. This interference (speckle) reduces resolution, rather than chromatic dispersion causing color separation therefore blurring, and limits imaging sharpness.
