E. Glass is a dispersive medium.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Dispersion is the splitting of light into it's constituent colours.
$ P = \frac{1}{F} \Rightarrow $ The unit for power of a lens is $m^{-1}.$
Optical fibers typically include a core surrounded by a transparent cladding material with a lower index of refraction.
In Cassegrain Telescope , design allows for a long focal length of a concave mirror to be within a smaller tube or telescope because the convex secondary lens allows for the focal point to be conveniently behind the primary mirror where an eyepiece can be placed.
glass is a dispersive medium.
