← HistoryWhich risk increased as lenses became thicker in early Islamic magnifying instruments?
A)Chromatic aberration reduces image clarity✓
B)Spherical aberration increased focal distortion
C)Material impurities limit light transmission
D)Surface scattering induced glare artifacts
💡 Explanation
Chromatic aberration increases with lens thickness because of increased dispersion, therefore different wavelengths focus at different points, blurring the image; rather than spherical aberration, which arises from the lens shape improperly focusing parallel rays.
