← HistoryWhich outcome occurs when refraction principles of the burning glass is improperly applied focusing sun light?
A)Aberration distorts the concentrated light✓
B)Material reaches ignition temperatures
C)Astigmatism elongates focused area
D)Chromatic dispersion reduces intensity
💡 Explanation
Spherical aberration causes distorted imperfect image at the focal point because rays further from cause greater deviation, creating blur rather than the precise focus design intended, therefore sharpness is reduced, rather than ideal for ignition.
