This is a simple setup to show the difference between Convex Mirror Telescopes, and Convex Lens Telescopes, using white light and mono-chromatic light. The Concave Mirror Telescopes are the common

    NoVIcE: Same thing, just that 'dispersion' is the general term and 'chromatic abberation' is specifically for lenses and the visible spectrum.

    Its actually called dispersion iirc?

    Here's an explaination of chromatic aberration: ID:2285750

    Interesting fact: Light has momentum but no mass

    Also, I worked out the scale of TPT to be ~ 1m/px but it varies based on frame rate (that calculation is done at 60 fps)

    i know that chromatic aberation causes red and blue to be visbile in images that have a concave effect

    *Lens if only one of them are there.
