← HistoryWhich optical aberration affected image quality obtained from early refracting telescopes during XVII Century?
A)Chromatic aberration from dispersion✓
B)Spherical aberration from lens shape
C)Coma aberration from off-axis rays
D)Astigmatism aberration from lens asymmetry
💡 Explanation
When white light passes through a lens, chromatic aberration occurs because different wavelengths refract at different angles due to dispersion, leading to colored fringes. Therefore chromatic aberration results, rather than spherical aberration, coma, or astigmatism, which arise from lens geometry and ray angles.
