19N.3.SL.TZ0.b(iii)
A planar wavefront of white light, labelled A, is incident on a converging lens. Point P is on the surface of the lens and the principal axis. The blue component of the transmitted wavefront, labelled B, is passing through point P.
An achromatic doublet reduces the effect of chromatic aberration. Describe an achromatic doublet.
