← HistoryWhich consequence occurs when polishing quality diminishes on medieval optical lenses?
A)Increased chromatic fringe widths✓
B)Reduced objective lens diameter
C)Increased overall light transmission
D)Decreased physical lens curvature smoothness
💡 Explanation
Reduced polishing quality introduces imperfections, leading to increased chromatic aberration because the optical surface deviates from its optimal design, therefore color fringes increase, rather than improved transmission or reduced curvature that demands precise tolerances.
