    How to Design an Achromatic Lens with Crown and Flint Glass?

    Geometrical optics help?? Design a converging achromatic lens of focal length 100cm. Refractive indices and dispersive powers for the two glasses available are 1.51 and 0.016 for crown glass and 1.61 and 0.026 for flint glass. The converging element of the achromat is to be bi-convex and the...
