← HistoryWhich consequence affected early camera obscura images when light intensity decreased?
A)Images exhibited lower chromatic aberration
B)Vignetting became progressively less apparent
C)Image brightness faded towards invisibility✓
D)A stronger parallax error was introduced
💡 Explanation
Decreasing light affected image visibility because insufficient photons passed through the small aperture which activated Fick's first law of diffusion. Therefore, lower luminance resulted, rather than color distortion or parallax because the pinhole focused light uniformly.
