Which consequence results from spherical aberration in Alhazen’s lens design?

💡 Explanation

Spherical aberration creates a blurred image because marginal rays focus at a different point than central rays. Therefore, image sharpness is reduced, rather than chromatic separation (dispersion), polarization (alignment), or cost alone impacting clarity.
