Chromatic aberration is probably most easily understood as a prism effect. When light shines through a prism, you see that different colors of light bend (undergo [[Refraction]]) differently and create a rainbow effect. When light shines through any lens, including glasses and the natural lens of your eye, the same occurs to a lesser degree. The effect of this is that the [[Focal Length]] of the lens is not exactly the same for all colors of light. | Chromatic aberration is probably most easily understood as a prism effect.
