Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phenomenon of splitting light into different colors (wavelengths) by a single lens is known as chromatic aberration. Achromatic aberration refers to the inability of a lens to focus all colors of light to a single point and blurring aberration refers to a lack of sharpness in the image. Seeing refers to the atmospheric conditions that affect the clarity of the image.
