Which optical outcome occurred when medieval Islamic scholars refined lenses using geometric principles?

💡 Explanation

When lenses were refined using geometric principles, optimized curvature profiles minimized dispersion because geometric optics models how surfaces affect light rays, leading to reduced chromatic aberration. Therefore reduced chromatic aberration resulted, rather than magnification or resolution improvements, which demanded other technologies.
