Question

how did the advancements in astronomy and optics during the islamic golden age most impact the modern world?
they discovered that the sun is the center of the solar system.
they contributed to the study of light and vision, which helped develop cameras and eyeglasses.
they discovered new planets and stars across the galaxy.
they invented the first telescopes that were used to identify planets.

Explanation:

• During the Islamic Golden Age, scholars made significant contributions to optics. Ibn al - Haytham (Alhazen) is a key figure. His work on light, vision, and optics was foundational.
• Cameras and eyeglasses rely on principles related to light refraction, reflection, and how light interacts with lenses. The Islamic scholars' studies of light and vision provided the early scientific basis for these modern - day inventions.
• The heliocentric model (sun is the center of the solar system) was mainly developed by Copernicus in the Renaissance, not during the Islamic Golden Age.
• The discovery of new planets and stars across the galaxy in the modern sense (using advanced telescopes) was not a major impact of Islamic Golden Age astronomy and optics in the way described in the options.
• The first practical telescopes in the modern sense (with glass lenses and a certain design) were developed in the early 17th century in Europe, not during the Islamic Golden Age.

Answer:

They contributed to the study of light and vision, which helped develop cameras and eyeglasses.
