Question

The refractive indices of violet and red light are 1.54 and 1.52 respectively. If the angle prism is 100 , then the angular dispersion is :
  1. 0.02
  2. 3.06
  3. 2
  4. 30.6

A
0.02
B
30.6
C
2
D
3.06
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Angular dispersion is given as,

α=(μVμR)A

α=(1.541.52)×100

α=0.02×100

α=2

Thus, angular dispersion is 2.
