MCQ
Which of the following has a larger chromatic aberration?
  • A
    Crown$-$glass lens
  • Flint$-$glass lens
  • C
    Both have equal chromatic aberration
  • D
    Insufficient information

Answer

Correct option: B.
Flint$-$glass lens

Flint$-$glass lens has a larger chromatic aberration because the dispersive power of flint$-$glass is higher.
