← HistoryWhich visual effect limited precision instruments during Islamic Golden Age?
A)Chromatic aberration fringes the image✓
B)Spherical mirrors reflect imperfectly
C)Lenses induce parallax errors
D)Scratches induce light scattering
💡 Explanation
Chromatic aberration affects refractive instruments because different wavelengths focus differently, therefore an image shows undesirable fringing. Without achromatic lenses, resolution decreased rather than remaining sharp beyond a magnification threshold, which limits acuity regardless mirror flaws or scratching.
