Optics 3 Question 19
19. Which one of the following spherical lenses does not exhibit dispersion? The radii of curvature of the surfaces of the lenses are as given in the diagrams
$(2002,2 M)$ (a)
(c)
(b) $R$
(d)
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 19. (c)
Solution:
- $\frac{1}{f}=(\mu-1) \frac{1}{R _1}-\frac{1}{R _2}$
For no dispersion, $d \frac{1}{f}=0$
or
$$ R _1=R _2 $$
