← HistoryWhich consequence results when a medieval alchemist's lens introduces chromatic aberration into observations?
A)Increased refraction index control needed
B)Inaccurate spectral analysis occurs✓
C)Improved image resolution becomes possible
D)Lens grinding becomes thermodynamically efficient
💡 Explanation
Inaccurate spectral analysis, because chromatic aberration causes differential refraction depending light frequency (dispersion mechanism), therefore smearing wavelengths. This yields skewed spectral data, rather than enhanced resolution or perfect grinding, especially when interpreting observations.
