Which consequence occurred when al-Haytham used spherical mirrors to observe spherical aberration?

💡 Explanation

Aberration causes blurring away from the optical axis because different zones of the mirror focus light at slightly different points, due to differing incident angles in a spherical mirror. Therefore, images are sharpened mainly nearby the axis, rather than being uniformly crisp or eliminating aberrations.
