← HistoryWhich outcome results when spherical aberration remained uncorrected in early Islamic telescope lenses?
A)Chromatic blurring became less noticeable
B)Image contrast was artificially enhanced
C)Image resolution stayed substantially limited✓
D)Lens grinding became unexpectedly easier
💡 Explanation
Uncorrected spherical aberration causes marginal rays to focus differently than central rays; therefore, image resolution was inherently limited because rays could not converge to a single focal point, rather than achieving ideal diffraction-limited performance.
