Which outcome occurs when imperfections on telescope mirrors coincide?

💡 Explanation

Destructive interference reduces image clarity because imperfections introduce phase differences. This phase cancellation causes signal loss; therefore, resolution declines, rather than aberration (localized blurring), diffraction or Doppler effects, because these are different optical phenomena.
