Correct Answer - Option 4 :
\(\dfrac{f_1+f_2}{2}\)
Concept:
-
Achromatism: It is the phenomenon by virtue of which an object seen in white light through a lens would appear white i.e.there is no colour splitting
-
Condition: To achieve achromatism, all colours should be focused at a single point.
- To produce an achromatic lens, a convex lens with positive chromatic aberration should be combined with a suitable concave lens of negative chromatic aberration so that total chromatic aberration is zero.
-
Application: It is a lens that is designed to limit the effects of chromatic and spherical aberration.
- Achromatic lenses are corrected to bring two wavelengths (typically red and blue) into focus on the same plane.
Explanation:
So, here given focal lengths are f1 and f2
The average of both the focal lengths is
\( {f_{avg}} = \frac{{{f_1} + {f_2}}}{2}{\rm{ }}\)
