← HistoryWhich mechanism causes image displacement in Alhazen's pinhole observations?

B)Diffraction around small apertures
C)Chromatic aberration in glass

Image displacement occurs because light travels in straight lines via rectilinear propagation; therefore, the image is inverted and shifted relative to the object position, rather than scattering via diffraction or facing chromatic issues.
