Illustration demonstrating chromatic aberration in a lens. Beams of yellow and violet light are shown striking a convex lens and being brought to focus. Light with shorter wavelengths, such as blue and violet, is refracted more and brought closer to the lens. The simulation uses flint glass, a heavy material with a high refractive index and high dispersion. Chromatic aberration is an undesirable effect in optical instruments. It can be corrected by using lenses with different dispersion powers. | |
