Which consequence arises from polishing concave metal mirrors without accounting for spherical aberration during the Islamic Golden Age?

💡 Explanation

Focusing irregularities occur because spherical aberration, the marginal rays focus at a different point than paraxial rays. This mechanism creates blurring, therefore the image quality decreases, rather than exhibiting chromatic or polarization effects, diffraction being caused by edges.
