The focal length of a lens is inversely proportional to the quantity (n?1), where n is the index of refraction of the lens material. The value of n, however, depends on the wavelength of the light that passes through the lens. For example, one type of flint glass has an index of refraction of nr=1.577 for red light and nv= 1.609 in violet light. Now, suppose a white object is placed 24.00 cm in front of a lens made from this type of glass.

If the red light reflected from this object produces a sharp image 55.50 cm from the lens, where will the violet image be found?

A lens was made out of Diamond in order to take advantage of the material’s refractive index. However, diamond also has a high dispersion. What is the chromatic aberration limited resolution of a telescope made from diamond lenses if the objective lens has a focal length fO=25m and the eyepiece lens has a focal length fE=2.5cm? Ignore the chromatic aberrations due to the eyepiece. (Diamond index of refraction for red light nr=2.451, for violet light nv=2.407).

1) Two convex lenses, both with focal length 1.5 m, are placed such that the light from a 4 cm tall object passes through each. The object is placed 4.5 m from the first lens, and the lenses are 3 m apart. Where will the image from the first lens be? Will it be real or virtual? Will it be upright or inverted? Where will the final image be (using both lenses)? Will it be real or virtual? Upright or...
