Which limitation reduces image resolution in astronomical interferometry?

💡 Explanation

Atmospheric turbulence introduces random phase shifts degrading constructive interference; this is atmospheric phase incoherence. Therefore, fringes blur, rather than providing sharp details; because quantum efficiency measures signal strength, and mechanical vibration is an engineering challenge.
