A real image of a distant object is formed by a plano-convex lens of its principal axis. Spherical aberration

A

is absent.

B

is smaller if the curved surface of the lens faces the object.

C

is smaller if the plane surface of the lens faces the object.

D

is the same whichever side of the lens faces the object

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Spherical aberation is smaller when the curved surface is facing the object because the total deviation is shared between the two surfaces.
