A thin, plano-convex lens with 1-m focal length and index 1.60 is to be used in an orientation that produces less spherical aberration while focusing a collimated light beam. Prove that the proper orientation is with light incident on the spherical side by comparing the Coddington shape factor for each orientation with the value giving minimum spherical aberration.
