← HistoryWhich outcome arose frequently when early Alhazen-era lenses experienced chromatic aberrations?
A)Fuzzy images along color fringes✓
B)Complete image signal loss
C)Overestimation of light refraction
D)Unexplained diffraction scattering effects
💡 Explanation
Fuzzy images resulted because chromatic aberration, or dispersion, separated colors imperfectly during refraction in the lens material; therefore, images appear blurred exhibiting colored fringes, rather than being precisely focused due to imperfect lens grinding technologies prevalent then.
