Assertion (A): The focal length of a lens does not change when red light is replaced by blue light.

Reason (R): The focal length of a lens depends on the refractive index of material of lens.

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. assertion is false but reason is true.
  4. assertion is true but reason is false.

Answer

assertion is false but reason is true.

Explanation

Assertion (A) is false. The focal length of a lens does change when different colours of light are used. Different colours have different wavelength so focal length is different.

Reason (R) is true. The focal length (f) of a lens does depend on the refractive index of the material of the lens. It is inversely proportional to the refractive index of the medium μ.
