Origin of spectra
A lens is placed between a source of light and a wall. It forms images of area A1 and A2 on the wall, for its two different positions the area of the source of light is :
If fv and fn are the focal lengths of a convex lens for violet ad red light respectively and FV and FR are the focal lengths of concave lens for violet and red light respectively, then we have :
fV < fR and FV > FR
fV < fR and FV < FR
fV > fR and FV > FR
fV > fR and FV < FR
