The red light would focus on a point in space at a greater in distance than the blue light would have been. Red light has a longer wavelength than blue light and therefore since both are travailing at the same speed (the speed of light), the longer wave red light finds it's focal point at a time slightly after the blue light would have. This effect shares some characteristics with the Doppler effect, although sound does not need obey the constant speed law as light light does.

What will happen to the parallel raysof light after falling on a convex lens and passed through the lens?

A parallel beam of light coming from an infinite source when passed through a convex lens such that the refractive index of medium is less than the refractive index of lens the light will suffer deviation and the rays will converge at a point called focus of the lens on the opposite side where the rays have been coming. The image will be highly diminished as all the rays converge at a point.

Why is convex lens called a converging lens?

A convex lens is called a converging lens because it converges or brings parallel rays of light together at a focal point after passing through the lens. This results in the rays coming together and converging at a point on the other side of the lens.


Do convex mirrors focus light?

Convex mirrors do not focus light, but instead they diverge the light rays that hit them. This causes the reflected light rays to spread out which results in a wider field of view.


Can parallel rays of light meet?

If passed through a convex lense, then yes the parallel rays will meet.


How is an convex image formed?

A convex image is formed when light reflects off at least a roughly convex surface. It spreads a beam of light out in multiple directions instead of reflecting it in a straight line, so the reflective image looks larger, or, namely, convex.


Is light bends when it passes through a convex lens?

No it do not bend.
