How the focal length for red light and violet light are different for converging and diverging lenses.
Answer to Problem 17Q
Solution:
Red light has focal length more compared to violet light.
Explanation of Solution
The focal point for violet light is closer to the lens than the focal point for red light for both converging and diverging lenses. The refraction index for violet light is slightly greater than that for red light for glass, which causes the violet light to bend more compared to red light and resulting in a smaller magnitude of focal length.
