Lens aberrations — UPSC Physics Optional CSE 2019 Paper I

What is axial chromatic aberration? A convex lens has a focal length of 15.5 \times 10^{-2}\,\mathrm{m} for red colour and 14.45 \times 10^{-2}\,\mathrm{m} for violet colour. If an object is kept at a distance of 40\,\mathrm{cm} from the lens, calculate the longitudinal chromatic aberration of the lens.
