If fV and fR are the focal lengths of a convex lens for violet and red light respectively and FV and FR are the focal lengths of concave lens for violet and red light respectively, then we have
-
- fV < fR and FV > FR
- fV < fR and FV < FR
- fV > fR and FV > FR
- fV > fR and FV < FR
Correct Option: A
= (μ - 1) | ![]() | - | ![]() | |||||
f | R1 | R2 |
According to Cauchy relation
μ = A + | + | .... Hence f ∝ λ | ||
λ2 | λ4 |
Hence, red light having maximum wavelength has maximum focal length.
∴ fv < fr and also Fv > Fr as focal length is negative for a concave lens.
