Which outcome results when imperfections introduce phase shifts in interferometer mirrors?

💡 Explanation

Reduced fringe contrast occurs because imperfections cause destructive interference, resulting in lower visibility; it is the presence of varying phase shifts. The contrast reduces, therefore fringe visibility drops, rather than improving transmission under these conditions.
