← ScienceWhich mechanism causes speckle patterns with laser projection?
A)Coherent beam interference✓
B)Atmospheric light scattering
C)Incoherent light diffraction
D)Nonlinear crystal refraction
💡 Explanation
Speckle patterns arise because the target surface irregularities cause constructive and destructive interference of the coherent laser light; therefore coherent beam interference creates granular patterns rather than scattering or diffraction in free space.
