  1. The focal length of converging lens is measured for violet, green and red colours. It is respectively fv, fg , fr. We will get​​
    1. fv = fg
    2. fg > fr
    3. fv < fr
    4. fv > fr
Correct Option: C

According to Cauchy relation

μ = A +
B
+
C
....    Hence f ∝ λ
λ2λ4

∴ Red light has wavelength greater than violet light. Therefore focal length of lens for red is greater than for violet. (fr > fv)
