The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of making an achromatic combination of two lenses \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) with dispersive powers \( \omega_1 \) and \( \omega_2 \) (where \( \omega_2 < \omega_1 \)), we need to follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dispersive Power**: The dispersive power \( \omega \) of a lens is defined as: \[ \omega = \frac{n - 1}{n - n'} \] where \( n \) is the refractive index of the lens material for a specific wavelength, and \( n' \) is the refractive index for another wavelength. 2. **Lenses Combination**: For two lenses to form an achromatic combination, the condition that must be satisfied is: \[ \omega_1 P_1 + \omega_2 P_2 = 0 \] where \( P_1 \) and \( P_2 \) are the powers of lenses \( L_1 \) and \( L_2 \) respectively. 3. **Lens Maker's Formula**: The power \( P \) of a lens is given by: \[ P = \frac{1}{f} = (n - 1) \left( \frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2} \right) \] where \( f \) is the focal length and \( R_1, R_2 \) are the radii of curvature of the lens surfaces. 4. **Power Relation**: Since \( \omega \) is inversely related to the power of the lens, we can say: \[ P \propto \frac{1}{\omega} \] This implies that if \( \omega \) is smaller, the power \( P \) is larger. 5. **Condition for Converging Lenses**: Given that \( \omega_2 < \omega_1 \), it follows that: \[ P_2 > P_1 \] Therefore, lens \( L_2 \) must have a greater power than lens \( L_1 \) for the combination to be converging. 6. **Conclusion**: Since the combination of lenses is converging, we conclude that: \[ \text{Power of } L_2 > \text{Power of } L_1 \] Thus, \( \omega_2 < \omega_1 \) indicates that \( L_2 \) is the converging lens. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **B**: \( \omega_2 < \omega_1 \).
