Question
Mixture of red + blue + green is passed through a convex lens as shown in the diagram below. State whether the ray passes through a single point or through different points on the principal axis after refraction.

Solution
The ray will pass through different points on the principal axis after refraction through the convex lens. Red colour will deviate the least, followed by green, and then blue will deviate the most.
