A reflecting telescope uses a spherical mirror with a 3-m focal length and an aperture given by f/3.75.
a. Using the results of problem 20-4, determine the magnitude of the spherical wave aberration for the telescope.
b. If a Schmidt-type correcting plane of refractive index 1.40 were installed to correct the spherical aberration, what would be the required difference in thickness between the center and edge of the plate?
