chromatic aberration is due to the change in n, which is a function of the wavelength.
different wavelength--> different n--> different refraction-->different angle-->this is spectrograph.
With Chromatic aberration, light is reflected through glass, shorter wavelengths bend more than longer wavelengths. With the prism spectrograph (Newton), violet (short-wavelength) light bends most, and red (long-wavelength) light bends least.
Color distortion at the edges of the field of view due to unintentional prism effect of spherically ground lenses.
This happens because inside the prism it reflects the light many, many times and at some stage as it is being reflected the light fractures and breaks up into the colours that you see when you look through it.answer 2 Well, not quite. In a transparent solid, such as glass or clear plastic, all of the wavelengths of light do not travel at the same speed!Whereas in air, essentially all wavelengths travel at the same speed.So when light makes the transition from air to the clear prism, some of the colours travel slower; and this we see as, and call refraction.The differing velocities, of various light colours through glass, are a serious problem in the design of photographic lenses, microscopes etc. It is known as chromatic aberration.

When white light passes through a triangular prism, it refracts, meaning, the light bends. When white light refracts, it disperses (separates) into the colours it is made up of - ie. the colours of the rainbow.
When the light ray strikes the surface of the prism, both when it enters and when it leaves, it bends owing to the different in the speeds of light in air and the material of which the prism is made. The amount of bending depends in part on the frequency of the light which is related to the colour of the light, hence the appearance of a colour spectrum which can be seen from a triangular prism.
A glass prism is a prism which is made of glass.A prism is a transparent optical element with flat,polished surfaces that refract light.
The most chromatic aberration would occur with a single-lens refractor. However, today most telescopes employ at least two lenses, called achromats. These still incur significant chromatic aberration if the telescope has a short focal length to aperture ratio, called focal ratio. An easy way to determine if the telescope will have significant chromatic aberration is to divide the focal ratio of the telescope by the diameter of the lens in inches. A value of 5 or higher indicates minimal chromatic aberration; 3 to 5 is moderate aberration, and 3 and under is significant chromatic aberration. However, chromatic aberration is generally only obvious on bright stars or planets.
That could be a prism, or a lens with a serious chromatic aberration problem.
CA stands for chromatic aberration. Chromatic aberration happens in the lens. The different wavelengths (colors) of light get spread out, sort of like a prism creating a rainbow. CA is usually visible as a thin green line on one side of a subject and a thin magenta (red-purple) line on the other side. CA also tends to reduce the overall sharpness of an image.
because refraction is greater for shorter wavelengths. for a narrow aperture, you may not notice the difference. but for wide aperture, you will, because you are involving more of its curvature. check what a prism does, you'll see the same effect.

A prism can be used for splitting light into its constituent colors, but scientists tend to use a more precise instrument called a spectrograph.

They use a spectrograph to pass light through a prism to break it the light waves into its constituent colors. Then by looking at what colors are missing they can determine both the temperature and composition of the star.
