Focal length of the lens depends upon its refractive index as (1/f) propto(μ-1). Since, μ0>μr So, fb < fr Therefore, the focal length of a lens decreases when red light is replaced by blue light.

Q. Assertion (A) The focal length of lens does not change, when red light is replaced by blue light.
Reason (R) The focal length of lens does not depends on colour of light used.

Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

Assertion is true but reason is false

Both assertion and reason are false

Focal length of the lens depends upon its refractive index as $\frac{1}{f} \propto (μ - 1)$ .
Since, $μ_{0} > μ_{r}$
So, $f_{b} < f_{r}$
Therefore, the focal length of a lens decreases when red light is replaced by blue light.
