Which consequence results when coherence length falls below tolerance for laser altimetry?

💡 Explanation

Signal degradation results from reduced laser coherence; shorter coherence lengths cause increased speckle noise through wave interference. Speckle noise obscures the return signal because the beam destructively interferes, therefore reducing range accuracy rather than preserving it under tolerance.
