For a material medium, the values of refractive index for violet and red colours are given as n v = 1.56 and n r = 1.44 . The dispersive power of a prism made out of this material is
Options
- A0.06
- B0.24
- C0.03
- Dnone of these
Correct answer
B. 0.24
Step-by-step solution
Dispersive power of a prism is given as, ω = n v − n r ( n v + n r 2 ) − 1 = 1.56 − 1.44 ( 1.56 + 1.44 2 ) − 1 = 0.24
