History

Which consequence emerged when Alhazen studied light refraction?

A)Precisely calibrated sundial timekeeping
B)Pinholes projected inverted 3D images
C)Mirrors enabled large telescope arrays
D)Accurate compasses for oceanic navigation

💡 Explanation

Alhazen's experimentations led to the discovery of camera obscura operation involving the principle of rectilinear propagation, because small apertures cause images to invert inside darkened spaces; therefore, pinhole projection occurred, rather than alternative principles like light collection for timekeeping.
