Solution

The phenomenon one encounters when a lens fails to converge all the wavelengths of light on a single focal plane is called Chromatic Aberration.

When a beam of white light is allowed to pass through convex lens parallel to principal axis, the different colours of light converge at different point on the principle axis after refraction. This is called :ScatteringChromatic aberration Spherical aberrationPolarisation

The spherical aberration of a converging lens can be corrected by reducing the thickness of the lens periphery.  The spherical aberration of the lens is caused because light rays emerging from the lens:A.are insufficiently refracted at the lens periphery.B.converge at the lens focal point uniformly.C.are excessively refracted at the lens periphery.D.are scattered due to chromatic dispersion.
