Which consequence arises in medieval glassblowing, specifically crafting lenses, with insufficiently cooled glass during annealing?

💡 Explanation

Brittleness results when rapid cooling leads to uneven thermal contraction; this causes internal stress intensification rather than predictable annealing. Therefore, glass shatters more easily, rather than exhibiting optical irregularities like chromatic aberration which stem from material properties.
