Which optical degradation results when the Medieval burning mirrors deviate hyperbolically?

💡 Explanation

Deviating hyperbolically causes greater spherical aberration because the focal points shift outward; therefore the rays concentrate over a larger area, rather than maintaining a sharp singular focus inherent to ideal mirrors.
