← HistoryWhich consequence results from spherical aberration in Alhazen’s lens design?
A)Chromatic separation of colors
B)Reduced sharpness of image✓
C)Polarization of transmitted light
D)Increased lens manufacturing cost
💡 Explanation
Spherical aberration creates a blurred image because marginal rays focus at a different point than central rays. Therefore, image sharpness is reduced, rather than chromatic separation (dispersion), polarization (alignment), or cost alone impacting clarity.
