According to Cauchy relation
μ = A + B + C .... Hence f ∝ λ λ2 λ4
∴ Red light has wavelength greater than violet light. Therefore focal length of lens for red is greater than for violet. (fr > fv)Correct Option: C

Correct Option: A
Rainbow is formed due to combination of total internal reflection and dispersion.
- The angle of a prism is ‘A’. One of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence 2A on the first surface returns back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index µ, of the prism is :

According to Snell’s law µ = sin i sin r
⇒ (1) sin 2A = (µ) sin A ⇒ µ = 2 cos ACorrect Option: B
According to Snell’s law µ = sin i sin r
⇒ (1) sin 2A = (µ) sin A ⇒ µ = 2 cos A
- A beam of light consisting of red, green and blue colours is incident on a right angled prism. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the above red, green and blue wavelengths are 1.39, 1.44 and 1.47, respectively.
The prism will :

For total internal reflection, incident angle (i) > critical angle (ic)
So, sin i > sin icsin 45° > 1 ⇒ μ > √2 ⇒ 1.414 μ
Since refractive index µ of green and voilet are greater than 1.414 so they will total internal reflected. But red colour will be refracted.
