Gullstrand's work is critical to understanding what type of lens defects?
Chromatic aberration
Spherical aberration
Cylindrical aberration
Polarization effects
Answer
Spherical aberration, as Gullstrand discovered, is a lens defect that arises from the spherical shape of the lens surfaces. This imperfection leads to an inability to focus all incoming light rays at a single point, causing blurred or distorted images. The extent of this distortion varies depending on the severity of the aberration and the specific lens design.
