Cameras that use adaptive optics provide higher spatial resolution images primarily because:
A) they operate above Earth's atmosphere.
B) they capture infrared light, which has a longer wavelength than visible light.
C) deformable mirrors are used to correct the blurring due to Earth's atmosphere.
D) composite lenses correct for chromatic aberration.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cameras that use adaptive optics correct the blurring caused by Earth's atmosphere by using deformable mirrors. This allows for higher spatial resolution images to be captured.
