The focal length of a thin convex lens for red and blue rays are cm and respectively. Then, the dispersive power of the material of the lens is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Dispersive power is ratio of angular dispersion and mean deviation.
It can be written in terms of focal length as,
Here
Dispersive power
Hence, the dispersive power of the material of the lens is .
