A crown glass prism of angle `5^(@)` is to be combined with a flint prism in such a way that the mean ray passes undeviated. Find (a) the angle of the flint glass prism needed and (b) the angular dispersion produced by the combinatino when white light goes through it. Refractive indices for red, yellow, and violet light are 1.541, 1.517 and 1.523, repectively, for crown flass and 1.613, 1.620 and 1.632 for flint glass.

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a crown glass prism with an angle of \(5^\circ\) and we need to find the angle of a flint glass prism such that the mean ray passes undeviated. We also need to calculate the angular dispersion produced by the combination when white light passes through it. ### Step 2: Set Up the Deviation Equations For a prism, the deviation (\(\delta\)) can be expressed as: \[ ...
