The dispersive powers of crown and flint...

The dispersive powers of crown and flint glasses are 0.03 and 0.05, respectively. If the difference between the refractive indices for red and blue is 0.014 crown glass and 0.023 for flint glass, calculate the angle of a flint glass prism which would produce a net deviation of `5^(@)` with a crown glass prism of `3^(@)`.
[ Hint: Net deviation =`(mu -1) A+(mu'-1)A'`]
