What cause chromatic aberration?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
Variation of focal length with colour
Option C (Variation of focal length with colour) is correct because chromatic aberration arises from the fact that the refractive index of a lens material varies with the wavelength (color) of light, leading to different focal lengths for different colors.
