Which effect limits the visibility of underwater objects when using LIDAR?

💡 Explanation

Decreased coherence causes signal degradation; specifically, the coherence length determines how far the beam propagates while maintaining phase, therefore blurring the reflected LIDAR signal and limiting effective range, because the laser quickly diffuses rather than imaging with a sharp reflection.
