← HistoryWhich consequence arises from increased polishing errors in Alhazen's lens designs?
A)Chromatic aberration severity increases significantly
B)Spherical aberration causes image distortion✓
C)Refractive index variations become prominent
D)Total internal reflection dramatically decreases
💡 Explanation
Increased polishing errors introduce irregularities on the lens surface, therefore spherical aberration becomes dominant because incident rays don't converge to a single focal point, resulting in image blurring rather than chromatic effects caused by dispersion.
