Assertion Focal length of a lens depends...

Assertion Focal length of a lens depends on the wavelength of light used.
Reason The more the wavelengths, lesser is the focal length.

A

If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

B

If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.

C

If Assertion is true but Reason is false.

D

If Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c) If `lamda`. is more, then `mu` will be less as per Cauchy's formula `mu=(A+B)/(lamda^(2))`. Therefore, focal length will be more.
