A glass prism ' A ' deviates the red and blue rays through 10^ and 12^ respectively. A second prism ' B ' deviates them through 8^ and 10^ respectively. The ratio of their dispersive powers is (A to B)
Options
- A9:13
- B4: 5
- C9: 11
- D8: 9
Correct answer
C. 9: 11
Step-by-step solution
Dispersive power = _v- _R _y , _y= _v+ _R 2 ...(i) For prism A: _y= 12+10 2 =11 _ A = 12-10 11 = 2 11 For prism B: _y= 8+10 2 =9 aligned & _ B = 10-8 9 = 2 9 & _ A _ B = 9 11 aligned
