To determine which prism has a greater dispersive power, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of dispersive power Dispersive power (ω) of a prism is defined as the ratio of angular dispersion (the difference in deviation for two colors) to the mean deviation (the average deviation for the two colors). ### Step 2: Calculate angular dispersion for prism A For prism A: - Deviation for blue rays = 6° ...
