Which outcome results from exceeding design limitations in medieval Islamic lighthouses using parabolic reflectors to project light across waterways?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled spherical aberration will occur because parabolic reflectors, if imperfectly shaped or positioned, will not focus light to a single point. This outcome reduces light intensity overall, therefore limiting projection distance, rather than distributing focused light for efficient signaling.
