JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments

A prism of refractive index \(n_{1}\) and another prism of refractive index \(n_{2}\) are stuck together (as shown in the figure). \(n_{1}\) and \(n_{2}\) depend on \(\lambda\), the wavelength of light, according to the relation \({n}_{1}=1.2+\frac{10.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}} \text { and } {n}_{2}=1.45+\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}}\) The wavelength for which rays incident at any angle on the interface \(B C\) pass through without bending at that interface will be \(....\,nm.\)

  1. A \(500\)
  2. B \(600\)
  3. C \(700\)
  4. D \(800\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(600\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For no deviation, \(n_{1}=n_{2}\) \(1.2+\frac{10.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}} =1.45+\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}}\) \(0.25 =\frac{9 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}}\) \(\lambda^{2} =\frac{9 \times 10^{-14}}{0.25}\) \(\lambda =\frac{3}{5} \times 10^{-6}\)…
