Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.0615\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, refractive index for blue light, \(\mu_{b}=1.67\) Refractive index for yellow light, \(\mu_{y}=1.65\) Refractive index for red light, \(\mu_{r}=1.63\) Dispersive power, \(\omega=\) ? Dispersive power is the ratio of angular dispersion and mean deviation. The formula of…
