← HistoryWhich optical consequence resulted when early Alhazen-influenced lens grinders created spherical aberration?
A)Image blurring reduced resolution limits✓
B)Chromatic shift altered color fidelity
C)Spherical mirrors reflected poorly
D)Focal length decreased significantly
💡 Explanation
Image blurring resulted from spherical aberration because the lens surface didn't focus all light rays to a single point due to refraction, therefore lower resolution was unavoidable, rather than causing color shifts or altering focal distances unless extreme.
