← HistoryWhich image distortion results when uneven glass density affected medieval lenses?
A)Spherical aberration increases sharply✓
B)Chromatic aberration gets minimized
C)Focal length always remains steady
D)Diffraction patterns become more regular
💡 Explanation
Spherical aberration increased because variation in glass density caused uneven refraction utilizing refraction principle; therefore, marginal rays focus differently than paraxial, rather than uniform focusing, under conditions of purely uniform glass.
