← ScienceWhich outcome results when the *spatial coherence* of the laser source illuminating single aperture suffers degradation?
A)Increased speckle grain size appear✓
B)Decreased diffraction-limited spot appears
C)Stronger color fringes near edges
D)Reduced optical trapping force emerges
💡 Explanation
Increased speckle grain size will result because a spatially *incoherent* source generates many independent interference patterns rather than one uniform pattern; therefore, speckle size increases rather than creating a diffraction-limited spot due to coherence.
