The refractive indices of crown prism for violet and red lights are 1.523 and 1.513. Dispersive power of prism is
  1. 0.19
  2. 0.019
  3. 0.0019
  4. 19

A
0.019
B
0.19
C
19
D
0.0019
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Dispersive power, w=μvμrμy1

where, μy=(μv+μr)2

So, μy=(1.523+1.513)/2=1.518

Therefore w=1.5231.5131.5181

=0.019
