Which risk increases when imperfect alignment affects a Michelson interferometer?

💡 Explanation

Reduced fringe visibility occurs because unequal path lengths cause destructive interference; this arises from imperfect alignment reducing modulation depth. Therefore, fringe contrast decreases, rather than improvements in focusing or wavelength shifts, because differing optical paths cancel each other locally.
