Question
Chapter 25, Problem 13Q
To determine
Childrenuse microscopes which are inexpensive which produceimages that are colored at the edges. Why?
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 13Q
Solution:
Because inexpensive lens will not be correctly shaped to fix chromatic aberrations.
Explanation of Solution
A poor-quality, inexpensive lens will not be correctly shaped and there will be chromatic aberration. Due to the poor quality and the incorrect shape the different colors of light through the edges of the lens are focused at different points instead of focusing at the same point.
