Lens Makers Formula/ Len's Formula: Practice Problem & Solution
Assertion (A): A convex lens suffers from chromatic aberration. Reason (R): All parallel rays of monochromatic light passing through a convex lens do not come to a focus at the same point.
Solution Explained:
To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Lens Makers Formula/ Len's Formula. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:
A single convex lens suffers from chromatic aberration due to dispersion, so (A) is true. For monochromatic light, ideal parallel rays passing through a convex lens *do* converge at a single focal point (ignoring spherical aberration). Hence, (R) is false.
