(a) (i)When angle of prism is small and angle of incidence is also small, the deviation is given by
Or Here, Hence,
This gives Hence, angle of flint glass prism is (ii)Net dispersion due to the two prism is
|
Net deviation by the prism is zero. So,
are the refractive indices for crown and flint glass respectively
and
Negative sign shows that flint glass prism is inverted with respect to the crown glass prism
Net dispersion is
