Q

inability of the lens to focus light passing the side of the lens producing an image that is sharp in the center and blurred at the side

A

spherical aberration

141
Q

inability of the lens to focus light that travels straight or lateral, thus making it blurred while he light reaching the lens oblique is the one that is transmitted sharp

A

coma (also known as lateral aberration)

142
Q

the realtion of the image of th different point are incorrect with respect to one another

A

curvature of field

143
Q

defect in shape not in sharpness it can either be pincushion distortion or barrel

A

distortion

144
Q

pincushion distortion

A

curving inward

145
Q

barrel distortion

A

curving outward

146
Q

inability of the lens to focus light of varying wavelength. the lens refracts rays of short wavelength more strongly than those of longer wavelength and therefore bringing blue rays to a shorter focus that the red

A

chromatic aberration

147
Q

a form of lens defects in which the horizontal and vertical axis are not equally magnified.

A

astigmatism

148
Q

condition of the lens producing multiple images

A

flares

149

iinablity of the lens to focus both horizontal and vertical lines

A

astigmatism
