Which effect arises when incoherent beams overlap unevenly?

💡 Explanation

Incoherent light sources won't have a stable phase relationship, so speckle pattern occurs via statistical variations. Amplitude distribution decreases, particularly minima, because sustained destructive interference isn't allowed, and localized superposition occurs rather than broad cancellation.
