184. The focal length of a lens is NOT dependent on the
   
A. Distance of the object from the lens. The distance of the object determines where the image occurs for a specific lens but does not change the focal length.

The Correct Answer is A.

B. Curvature of the lens For the same material, diameter, and color of light, the greater the curvature; the shorter the focal length. 
C. Color of light incident on the lens Different colors of light have different indexes of refraction.   It does create different focal lengths for different colors.  It is also the reason chromatic aberration occurs with lens.
D. Material used to make the lens Different materials have different indexs of refraction.
