← ScienceWhich consequence results when attempting LIDAR measurement through dense fog?
A)Signal loss dominates over coherence✓
B)Refraction induces minimal deviation
C)Constructive interference builds range
D)Fresnel diffraction boosts clear signal
💡 Explanation
Signal loss occurs to increased scattering and absorption via the Beer-Lambert law. Decoherence becomes problematic because the fog particles disrupt phase relationships; therefore the signal degrades rather than providing accurate ranging since lidar coherence decays.
