← ScienceWhich outcome occurs for LIDAR when atmospheric temperature gradients distort coherence?
A)Signal attenuation reduces range accuracy✓
B)Reflected signals experience chromatic dispersion
C)Transmitter power consumption increases rapidly
D)Receiver noise overwhelms desired data
💡 Explanation
Atmospheric turbulence disrupts coherence due to temperature variations, causing beam spreading and weaker returns. This results in signal attenuation because the photons scatter randomly, therefore reduces the detection range, rather than chromatic or other issues.
