A ray of light passes through four transparent media with refractive indices mu_(1),mu_(2),mu_(3), and mu_(4) as shown in figure. The surfaces of all media are paralle. If the emerent ray CD is parallel to the incident ray AB, we must have

Prism A prism is a portion of transparent refracting medium bounded by two plane surfaces inclined to each other at a certain angle, and the angle between the refracting faces is called angle of the prism denoted by A. The deviation produced by the prism is maximum for violet (delta_v) and minimum for red (delta_r) colour. Dispersive power (omega) of the prism is given by
