Which outcome results when thermal expansion misaligns interferometer mirrors?

💡 Explanation

Misalignment disrupts constructive and destructive interference effects; therefore fringe contrast degrades because wavefronts no longer precisely overlap, rather than the other incorrect amplitude, frequency, or wavelength changes which are unrelated to mirror alignment.
