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 \(........{}^{\circ}\)

  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(1.3\)
  3. C \(7.8\)
  4. D \(4.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(4.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\delta_1=\delta_2 \text { [for no average deviation] }\) \(\Rightarrow 6^{\circ}(1.54-1)= A (1.72-1)\) \(\Rightarrow A =\frac{6^{\circ} \times 0.54}{0.72}\) \(=\frac{18^{\circ}}{4}=4.5^{\circ}\)
