Two rays traveling parallel to the principal axis strike a large plano-convex lens having a refractive index of 1.54. The convex face is spherical, with a radius of curvature of 21.6 cm, and the two rays are h1 = 0.300 cm and h2 = 6.90 cm from the principal axis. If we do not make the paraxial approximation, then these parallel rays will not actually cross the principal axis in exactly the same location (i.e., spherical aberration occurs).
Calculate where ray 2 crosses the principal axis, measured relative to the lens's center of curvature.
Calculate the difference in the positions where the two rays cross the principal axis.

Assuming the paraxial approximation (equivalent to saying h is small compared to R), find an algebraic formula for the focal length of this lens. Your answer should depend only on n and/or R.
