← ScienceWhich undesired outcome increases when imperfect optical surfaces experience in-phase reflections?
A)Speckle patterns degrade image resolution✓
B)Chromatic aberration creates color fringing
C)Coma distorts off-axis light cones
D)Astigmatism elongates point sources
💡 Explanation
Speckle arises because of random interference between light beams; surfaces induce multiple reflections, consequently constructive and destructive interference amplifies variations. Increased in-phase reflection enhances speckle, therefore resulting in poor image contrast rather than other aberration types.
