History

Which outcome results when spherical aberration remained uncorrected in early Islamic telescope lenses?

A)Chromatic blurring became less noticeable
B)Image contrast was artificially enhanced
C)Image resolution stayed substantially limited
D)Lens grinding became unexpectedly easier

💡 Explanation

Uncorrected spherical aberration causes marginal rays to focus differently than central rays; therefore, image resolution was inherently limited because rays could not converge to a single focal point, rather than achieving ideal diffraction-limited performance.
