← HistoryWhich phenomenon occurs when Islamic scholars analyzed refraction angles through plano-convex lens in the Middle Ages?
A)Chromatic aberration limits image sharpness✓
B)Spherical aberration corrects distorting lense
C)Dispersion reduces the light intensity
D)Diffraction increases edge contrast
💡 Explanation
When light passes through a plano-convex lens, chromatic aberration occurs because different wavelengths of light refract at slightly different angles according to Snell's Law, leading to a wavelength-dependent focal point and blurring. Therefore chromatic aberration results, rather than corrections, decreased intensity, or increased contrast, requiring complex configurations for those to happen.
