Within a fiber optic gyroscope, which consequence results when unwanted light scattering occurs?

💡 Explanation

Measurement inaccuracy results because backscattered light interferes with the intended light path affecting the Sagnac effect measurement because the refractive indexes change slightly, therefore yielding incorrect rotation data rather than clean signal readings.
