Which consequence results when spatial coherence degrades within a stellar interferometer?

A)Reduced fringe visibility on detector
B)Increased signal-to-noise ratio obtained
C)Improved angular resolution achieved
D)Elevated susceptibility diffraction impacts

💡 Explanation

The stellar interferometer loses the ability to create clear interference patterns because declining spatial coherence reduces consistent phase relationships across the apertures; therefore fringe visibility decreases, rather than enhanced resolution, given incoherence prevents proper constructive/destructive interference.
