Which mechanism causes chromatic aberration in multi-lens optical systems?

💡 Explanation

Chromatic aberration arises when different wavelengths do not focus at the same point because the refractive index of glass varies with wavelength, leading to dispersion. Therefore, refractive index variation causes aberration rather than thermal or quantum mechanical effects.
