Question

1. Chromatic aberration is caused by A. The shape of the lens B. The dispersive property of the lens C. The size of the lens D. Both A and B: shape and dispersive properties of a lens

In a lens, what does the term "aberration" refer to?

The magnifying power of the lens

The absorption of light by the glass in the lens

A fundamental limitation of any telescope to resolve very small details in the image

A defect in the design of the lens which causes distortion or blurring of the image

A large depth of focus::

Allows focusing simultaneously, with equal clarity, on objects anywhere from a couple feet to several hundred feet away.

Is achieved by stopping down the size of an aperture

Is used primarily for shots of brightly lit scene

D. A and B: Allows focusing simultaneously, with equal clarity, on objects anywhere from a couple feet to several hundred feet away, and is achieved by stopping down (reducing) the size of the aperture.
