Which optical outcome led Alhazen to disprove emission theory of vision during medieval period?

💡 Explanation

When viewing extremely bright sunlight directly, eye damage occurs because excessive light energy focusing causes pain and temporary blindness, indicating light enters the eye. Therefore eye damage disproved emission theory, rather than size constancy, reflection, or lens distortion that don't contradict emission from the eye.
