What is the focal length of convex lens if red light is replaced by blue light?

Focal length of a lens varies linearly with wavelength of light used. This is what leads to chromatic dispersion!

Since violet light has a shorter wavelength compared to red light, focal length of a lens will decrease if red light is replaced by violet light.

Hope that helps

Answer:

The refractive index of the material of a lens increases with the decrease in wavelength of the incident light. ... Thus, when we replace red light with a violet wavelength decrease and hence the focal length of the lens also decrease
