The correct Answer is:
To determine which spherical lens does not exhibit dispersion, we need to analyze the conditions under which dispersion occurs in lenses. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dispersion**: Dispersion in optics refers to the phenomenon where different wavelengths of light are refracted by different amounts when passing through a lens. This typically occurs in lenses where the radii of curvature of the two surfaces are different. 2. **Condition for Dispersion**: The key condition for a lens to exhibit dispersion is that the radii of curvature of its two surfaces must not be equal. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: - If \( R_1 \neq R_2 \), then dispersion occurs. 3. **Analyzing the Given Lenses**: We are provided with different lenses, and we need to check the radii of curvature for each: - For Lens A: \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) are different. - For Lens B: \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) are different. - For Lens C: \( R_1 = R_2 \) (this is the case we are looking for). - For Lens D: \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) are different. 4. **Conclusion**: Since Lens C is the only lens where \( R_1 \) is equal to \( R_2 \), it does not exhibit dispersion. Therefore, the correct answer is: - **Lens C does not exhibit dispersion.** ### Final Answer: The spherical lens that does not exhibit dispersion is **Lens C**.
