← ScienceWhich consequence results when wavefront division generates mutually incoherent beams?
A)Speckle pattern reduces sharply✓
B)Optimal interference fringe sharpness
C)Energy is perfectly conserved
D)Spatial coherence range maximizes
💡 Explanation
Speckle contrast diminishes because mutually incoherent beams, experiencing random phase variations, lead to destructive and constructive interference at numerous locations reducing overall fringe visibility. Therefore a speckle pattern reduces; rather than enhancing overall spatial coherence.
