Question

How does the focal length of a glass lens change when blue light is replaced by red light ? Give reasons.

Answer 1

The focal length of a lens depends on the refractive index of the glass. The more the refractive index the less is the focal length. But refractive is inversely proportional to wavelength of light. Hence for more wavelength more is the focal length.

Hence f(violet)<f(Red)
