Which consequence results when a diffraction grating is illuminated by incoherent light?

💡 Explanation

Reduced fringe visibility occurs, because *temporal coherence* determines the sharpness of interference patterns; when temporally incoherent light is used, fringes blur together. Therefore fringe contrast diminishes, rather than experiencing peak efficiency because wave interference averages out.
