← HistoryWhich manufacturing risk delayed large-scale bronze mirror production in ancient Egypt?
A)Tin depletion inhibited alloy formation
B)Arsenic impurities induced material brittleness✓
C)Oxygen exposure reduced metal purity
D)Uneven cooling warped reflecting surfaces
💡 Explanation
Arsenic contamination increased because segregation lowers bronze's performance under stress gradients during hammering; therefore, mirror surfaces cracked rather than becoming reflective because high purity bronze reflects better light across surfaces.
