← HistoryWhich consequence resulted when the Al-Haytham's camera obscura utilized a small aperture overlooking 11th-century Cairo construction?
A)Image distortion and low brightness✓
B)Perfect image rendering regardless of geometry
C)Discoloration during long observation times
D)Overheating internal components abruptly
💡 Explanation
A small aperture in Al-Haytham's camera obscura leads to diffraction because wavefront Airy Disks cause blurring, rather than pinhole focusing creating a truly sharp image; therefore, increasing sharpness means less overall image irradiance rather than another outcome.
