Which limitation arises because of atmospheric turbulence on stellar interferometry?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric variations cause rapid changes in refractive index, inducing path length differences. This leads to **destructive interference**, therefore fringes become smeared and their visibility decreases, rather than enhancing diffraction, because coherence is affected.
