← HistoryWhich fundamental effect resulted from Alhazen's improved lens grinding?
A)Minimized spherical aberration✓
B)Increased chromatic dispersion
C)Eliminated diffraction patterns
D)Enhanced ultraviolet transmission
💡 Explanation
Alhazen painstakingly shaped lenses, which improved focusing; reducing spherical aberration arose because shaping lenses closer to parabolic paths allowed precise convergence, therefore minimizing blurring. This outcome occurred rather than exacerbating it given uneven thicknesses.
