Which outcome occurs when atmospheric turbulence distorts wavefronts?

💡 Explanation

Speckle forms because variations in air density introduce random path length differences, causing constructive and destructive interference. Therefore, a speckled image results, rather than increased absorption or chromatic aberration, which are related to wavelength-specific effects.
