← HistoryWhich optical consequence arises during observations through low-quality astrolabe alidades?
A)Chromatic aberration blurs star images✓
B)Spherical aberration diminishes lunar visibility
C)Coma distorts planetary disc shapes
D)Diffraction limits solar corona details
💡 Explanation
Chromatic aberration blurs star images because shorter wavelengths refract more strongly due to dispersion caused by imperfect early lenses; therefore, different colors focus at different points, rather than creating a sharp image like modern optics would provide.
