← ScienceWhich consequence results when coherence collapses within LIDAR systems?
A)Range resolution experiences increased uncertainty✓
B)Power consumption increases exponentially
C)Detector saturation obscures weak signals
D)Beam divergence broadens significantly rapidly
💡 Explanation
Range resolution degrades because temporal coherence loss causes broadening through wave interference, hindering accurate time-of-flight calculation; therefore, uncertainty rises, rather than the beam diverging or power increasing, which are independent effects.
