Which risk increases because of imperfections in interferometer mirrors?

💡 Explanation

Reduced interference fringe contrast results from surface defects; **destructive interference** within coherent light is amplified because imperfections cause phase shifts, therefore fringe visibility suffers rather than resolution improving at the detector, assuming constant light.
