A thin prism P ₁ with angle 4^ and made from glass of refractive index 1 54 is combined with another thin prism P ₂ made from glass of refractive index 1 72 to produce dispersion without deviation. The angle of prism for P ₂ is
Options
- A4^
- B5 33^
- C2 6^
- D3^
Correct answer
D. 3^
Step-by-step solution
For thin prism the angle of deviation = A ( n -1) ₁= ₂ for no deviation A₁ (n₁-1 )=A₂ (n₂-1 )4(1.54-1)= A ₂(1.72-1) 4 0.54= A ₂ 0.72 A ₂= 4 0.54 0.72 =3^
