Convex Mirror
Parallel rays striking a convex spherical mirror are reflected as if coming from a single point behind the mirror
The images formed by a convex spherical mirror are always virtual, upright, smaller and between the mirror and F

Lens Aberrations
Spherical aberration occurs because the focal points of rays far from the principal axis of a spherical lens (or mirror) are different from the focal points of rays of the same wavelength passing near the axis.Correction?
A material’s index of refraction varies with wavelength. Because of this phenomenon, violet rays are refracted more than red rays when white light passes through a lens.Correction? Badrul hisham Nov 13 24
