Which effect diminishes contrast when imaging through fog?

💡 Explanation

Incoherent scattering increases ambient light that mixes with the image signal, because multiple scattering events from fog droplets randomize the phase relationships, rather than a directed clear path. Therefore contrast decreases, rather than being enhanced by interference alone under ideal conditions.
