Prism, Dispersion & Scattering

When a beam of white light is allowed to pass through convex lens parallel to principle axis, the different colors of light converge at different point on the principle axis after refraction. This is called

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

Focal length depends on $\mu$ , and $\mu$ depends on colour: $f_v < f_r$ .
So different colours focus at different points on the axis: chromatic aberration.
So the answer is (b).
