The refractive index of the material of a lens increases with decrease in wavelength of incident light. So focal length will decrease with decrease in wavelength according to Lens maker’s formula. Thus, when we replace red light with blue light, then due to decrease in wavelength, the focal length of the lens will DECREASE.
