History

Which consequence arose historically when Islamic glassmakers added manganese?

A)Increased transparency for improved lenses
B)Decreased melting point requiring less fuel
C)Enhanced resistance to fracture over time
D)Reduced chromatic aberration in prisms

💡 Explanation

Increased transparency occurred because manganese acted as a decolorizing agent, increasing light transmission through the glass via chemical absorption. Therefore, it allowed for clearer media for scientific instruments, rather than altering melting properties or fracture resistance.
