← ScienceWhich consequence results when a Michelson interferometer experiences vibration?
A)Fringe blurring reduces measurement accuracy✓
B)Beam splitter chromatic aberration intensifies
C)Laser intensity feedback increases noise
D)Mirror surface reflectivity decreases rapidly
💡 Explanation
Vibration causes path length differences to fluctuate rapidly. This induces temporal variations in the interference pattern via constructive and destructive Interference. Therefore, fringe blurring spoils resolution, rather than chromatic aberration becoming dominant.
