← ScienceWhich imaging error results when a low coherence light source illuminates an object?
A)Reduced image resolution and blurring✓
B)Increased chromatic abberation effects
C)Significant light intensity saturation
D)Wavelength filtering of material colors
💡 Explanation
Reduced resolution happens because decreased temporal coherence shortens the distance light waves can constructively interfere via superposition before the coherence disappears; therefore blurring happens rather than sharp focus, rather than the other listed forms of distortions.
