← HistoryWhich consequence resulted from attempting Alhazen's water-filled glass sphere theory without sufficient geometric rigor?
A)Inaccurate atmospheric refraction modeling✓
B)Unresolvable chromatic aberration patterns
C)Instabilities from incomplete geometric series
D)Inconsistent parallax error magnification
💡 Explanation
Insufficient geometric grounding caused inaccurate atmospheric refraction modeling, because establishing precise angles for celestial body positions was required; therefore, observations were flawed, rather than encountering chromatic aberration or parallax errors.
