The dispersive power (w) of the material of a prism is (where symbols have their usual meanings)

The refractive index of the prism for violet colour is 1.7 and that for red is 1.65. Then dispersive power of the material of prism is

A prism of a certain angle deviates the red and blue rays by 8^@ and 12^@ respectively. Another prism of the same angle deviates the red and blue rays by 10^@ and 14^@ respectively. The prisms are small angled and made of different materials. The dispersive powers of the materials of the prisms are in the ratio

A prism produces deviation of red light by 34^(@)46 ' and of blue light by 35^(@)52 '. Calculate the dispersive power of the material of the prism. [ Hint: omega=(D_(b)D_(r))/(D)," " D=(D_(b)+D_(r))/(2) ]

Assertion : Dispersion of light occurs because velocity of light in a material depends upon its colour. Reason : The dispersive power depends only upon the material of the prism, not upon the refracting angle of the prism
