The images formed by an ordinary convex lens suffer from a defect, called chromatic defect, which leads to false coloured edges in the images. This happens because light rays of different colours bend differently as they enter and leave the lens.

If a parallel white light beam passes through a convex lens, the light of which colour (among violet to red in the spectrum) will converge at a point closest to the lens? Justify your answer.

The image below shows the refraction of light in three transparent rectangular blocks, X, Y and Z, made of different materials when they are placed in air. The angle of incidence is different in each case but the angle of refraction is the same in all three blocks.

Question Image

Compare the speed of light in the three blocks. Justify your answer.
