A thin prism \(P_1\) with an angle \(6^{\circ}\) and made of glass of refractive index \(1.54\) is combined with another prism \(P _2\) made from glass of refractive index \(1.72\) to produce dispersion without average deviation. The angle of prism \(P_2\) is \(........{}^{\circ}\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(4.5\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\delta_1=\delta_2 \text { [for no average deviation] }\)
\(\Rightarrow 6^{\circ}(1.54-1)= A (1.72-1)\)
\(\Rightarrow A =\frac{6^{\circ} \times 0.54}{0.72}\)
\(=\frac{18^{\circ}}{4}=4.5^{\circ}\)
