Spherical aberration in a thin lens can be reduced by

A

using a monochromatic light

B

using a doublet combination

C

using a circular annular mark over the lens

D

increasing the size of the lens

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Spherical aberration occurs due to the inability of a lens to converge marginal rays of the same wavelength to the focus as it converges the paraxial rays. This can be done by using a circular annular mask over the lens.
