← HistoryWhich consequence resulted during the medieval 'House of Wisdom' era when grinding lenses aspherical?
A)Severe chromatic aberration was evident✓
B)Perfect parabolic focusing was achieved
C)Enhanced ultraviolet light transmission
D)Image distortion significantly decreased
💡 Explanation
Severe chromatic aberration occurred because the material dispersion combined with a non-spherical lens surface cause different wavelengths refract differently (spherical aberration mechanism), therefore blurring the image, rather than achieving perfect focusing.
