The refractive index fo glass is `1.520` for red light and `1.525` for blue light. Let `D_(1)` and `D_(2)` be angles of minimum deviation for red and blue light respectively in a prism of this glass. Then,

A

`D_(1) lt D_(2)`

B

`D_(1) = D_(2)`

C

`D_(1)` can be less than or greater than `D_(2)` depending upon the angle of prism

D

`D_(1) gt D_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
