Physics Question on Ray optics and optical instruments

Chromatic aberration of lens can be corrected by

A

providing different suitable curvature to its two surfaces

B

proper polishing of its two surfaces

C

suitably combining it with another lens

D

reducing its aperture

Answer

suitably combining it with another lens

Explanation

Solution

The chromatic aberration formed by a convex lens is considered positive and that by a concave lens is considered negative, as they have got exactly oposite characteristics. So the chromatic aberration formed by one lens can be nullified by the suitable use of the second lens.
