These chromatic expressions yield the OPD for the extreme wavelengths of the spectral band. For values correlating well with the other relationships given in this section as to the effect on image quality (e.g., MTF), divide the chromatic OPD from these expressions by 2.5 for ordinary chromatic, and by 4.5 for secondary spectrum.
