← HistoryWhich consequence occurred more extensively when medieval scholars imperfectly polished lenses?
A)Chromatic aberration degraded astronomical observations
B)Spherical aberration blurred focused images✓
C)Internal reflection reduced light throughput
D)Diffraction distorted resulting spectral analysis
💡 Explanation
Spherical aberration dramatically impacted medieval lens quality because the lens *shape error* deflected rays non-uniformly, blurring the image, therefore accurate observation of distant objects failed, rather than chromatic effects which needed purer glass.
