Draw a plot showing the variation of power of a lens with the wavelength of incident light.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From `P = (1)/(F) = (mu -1)((1)/(R_(1)) - (1)/(R_(2)))`
As `lambda` increases, `mu` decreases.
`:.` Power `P` decreases.
The variation of `P` with `lambda` is as shown in Fig.
