Which optical interference consequence results when a laser's temporal coherence drastically decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreased temporal coherence causes reduced fringe visibility, because the interference fringes are only sharply defined if the path length difference is less than the coherence length; therefore, the fringes wash out rather than stay distinct as coherence diminishes.
