Aberration occurs when the lens causes the light to deviate from its intended path. Extinction is caused by the medium or particles that absorb and disperse light. What is Aberration? Aberration is a word used frequently in optics and physics to indicate when a lens or other optical system fails to produce the expected results due to light deviating from its intended path. Types of Aberration When developing optical systems, it is important to account for the many kinds of aberration that might occur. The curvature of a mirror or lens can cause geometric aberrations. Spherical aberration, which happens as ... Read More
