← ScienceWhich limitation occurs if a telescope objective exhibits imperfections?
A)Reduced image resolution due to diffraction✓
B)Chromatic aberration blurs the image
C)Spherical aberration distorts focusing
D)Polarization fringes mask faint objects
💡 Explanation
Reduced resolution happens because uneven surfaces cause constructive and destructive interference affecting wavefront uniformity called diffraction. Therefore diffraction limits resolution, rather than chromatic aberration, which impacts colors, or polarization which generally involves filtering light.
