For a material medium, the values of refractive index for violet and colours are given as n_(v) =1.56 and n_r=1.44 . The dispersive power of a prism made out of this material is

Light of wavelenght 4000 A is incident at small angle on a prim of apex angle 4^(@) . The prism has n_(v)=1.5 and n_(r)=1.48 . The angle of dispersion produced by the prism in this light is:

When a ray of sun light passes through the prism each colour of light has its own speed in the glass. The seven colours come out of the prism with different angles of deviation. Red deviates least and violet deviates maximum. Thus a prism can disperse a white light into seven colours which is called colour spectrum. For a thin prism the angle of deviation delta =(n-1) A deviation is given. The angle of dispersion is given as theta = delta v - delta r . The dispersive power is omega = theta / delta mean Using the above ideas give answer the following questions A prism has R.I. for violet and red ” =1.523 n =1.5145 If the angle of prism is A= 2° the dispersive power of the prism is : 0.01639 1.593 0.1639 0.18
