← ScienceWhich consequence results on telescope lens when dust accumulates?
A)Reduced image contrast due scattering✓
B)Increased chromatic image aberration
C)Greater thermal lens distortions
D)Expanded focal plane field curvature
💡 Explanation
Dust causes diffraction, resulting in destructive interference, therefore reducing image contrast. This happens because scattering redirects light away from its original path, rather than refracting the light evenly like a clean lens, which would maintain contrast.
