← HistoryWhich effect resulted from imperfections during the grinding of medieval planoconvex lenses?
A)Increased spherical aberration✓
B)Exaggerated chromatic dispersion
C)Magnified diffraction fringes
D)Enhanced specular reflection
💡 Explanation
Increased spherical aberration arose because the lens surface deviated from the ideal spherical shape during hand grinding, causing rays to converge at different points. Therefore, the image quality decreased, rather than exhibiting more chromatic or diffraction effects which are wavelength-dependent.
