Explain why images formed by magnifying glasses are free from chromatic aberration


Open in App
Solution

The explanation for Chromatic Aberrations:

  1. The phenomenon in which light rays pass through a lens focuses at several points according to their wavelengths is called chromatic aberration.
  2. Therefore, chromatic aberration depends on the focal length of the lenses.
  3. As the lens's focal length in magnifying glass is very high, the images formed in magnifying glasses are free from chromatic aberration.
