A thin prism of angle \(6^{\circ}\) and refractive index for yellow light \(\left(n_{Y}\right) 1.5\) is combined with another prism of angle \(5^{\circ}\) and \(n _{ Y }=1.55\). The combination produces no dispersion. The net average deviation ( \(\delta\) ) produced by the combination is \(\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{\circ}\). The value of \(x\) is.......

- A \(0.4\)
- B \(4\)
- C \(40\)
- D \(8\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\delta= A \left(\mu_{ y }-1\right)- A ^{\prime}\left(\mu_{ y }^{\prime}-1\right)\) \(=6(1.5-1)-5(1.55-1)\) \(=\frac{1}{4}\)
