182. Which of the following statements is true for spherical lens and spherical mirrors?
   
A. Both have spherical aberration but only lens have chromatic aberration. Spherical aberration occurs with both lens and mirrors, because it is due to shape.  Parabolic shapes solve this problem.

Chromatic aberration only occurs with lens, because it is due to different colors of light having different indexes of refraction.

The Correct Answer is A.

B. Both have spherical aberration but only mirrors have chromatic aberration.
C. Both have spherical aberration and chromatic aberration.
D. Both have chromatic aberration but only lens have spherical aberration.
