The chromatic aberration in lenses becomes due to Correct Answer dissimilarity of main axis of rays

CONCEPT:

Chromatic aberration:

  • Chromatic aberration is also known as colour fringing or dispersion is a common problem in lenses which occurs when colours are incorrectly refracted (bent) by the lens, resulting in a mismatch at the focal point where the colours do not combine as they should.

EXPLANATION:

  • Chromatic aberration occurs when the light gets refracted differently while passing through the lens and it does not coincide with the focal length. 
  • Light is composed of 7 different wavelengths so after refraction through the lens if they do not meet at a common point, the chromatic aberration occurs.
  • The chromatic aberration in lenses becomes due to the dissimilarity of the main axis of rays. Hence, option 1 is correct.

Pharmacists recently conducted a study with respect to the reasons their customers purchased eye drops to soothe eye dryness. Dry eyes were more frequently experienced by customers who wore contact lenses than by custorners who did not wear contact lenses. The pharmacists concluded that wearing contact lenses, by itself, can cause contact wearers to have dry eyes.
