Assertion: A thick lens shows more chromatic aberration.Reason : Thick lens behave as many thin lenses.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
Lenses have different refractive index for different wavelengths of light. The refractive index decreases with increasing wavelength. So red light will bend least and violet the most. This will result is slight dispersion which will be seen as chromatic aberration.
