When a glass prism is placed inside water, its dispersive power______

Assertion: When a glass prism is immersed in water, the devitation caused by prism decreases. Reason: Refractive index of glass prism relative ot water is less than that relative to air.

A prism has R.I.for violet and red n_(v) =1.523 n_(r)=1.5145 If the angle of prism is A=2 ^ @ the dispersive power of the prism is :

STATEMENT- 1 When a glass prism is Immesed in water ,the deviation caused by prism decreases. STATEMENT 2 Refractive index of glass prism relative to water is less than relative to air.

Calculate the dispersion and deviation ( mean) produced by a flint glass prism placed in the position of minimum deviation with respect to the mean colour. The angle of prism is 60^(@) . Also calculate the dispersive power of the prism. Index of refraction of flint glass for blue light=0.667 and that for the red light =1.643.

If D is the deviation of a normally falling light beam on a thin prism of anlge A and omega is the dispersive power of the same prism then
