You are given prisms made of crown glass and flint glass with a wide variety of anlges. Suggest a combination of prisms will
b) disperse (and displace) a pencil of white light without much deviation.

ii) For almost no devation
`(mu_(Lambda)-1)A+(mu'_(y)-1)A'=0`
Taking crown glass prism of certain angle, we go on - increasing angle of flint glass prism till this condition is met. In the final combination however, angle of flint glass prism will be smaller than the angle of crown glass prism as `mu'_(y)` for flint glass is more than `mu_(y)` for flint glass is more that `mu_(y)` for crown glass.

You are given prisms made of crown glass and flint glass with a wide variety of anlges. Suggest a combination of prisms will a) deviate a pencil of white light without much dispersion.

A prism causes dispersion of white light while a rectangular glass block does not. Explain.

In the visible region the dispersive powers and the mean angular deviations for crown and flint glass prisms are omega, omega^(‘) and d, d^(‘) respectively. The condition of getting dispersion with zero deviation, when the two prisms are combined is

Assertion(A): The refractive index of a prism depends only on the kind of glass of which it is made of and the colour of light. Reason(R): The refractive index of a prism depends on the refracting angle of the prism and the angle ofminimum deviation.
