A thin prism \(\mathrm{P}_1\) with angle \(4^{\circ}\) made of glass having refractive index 1.54 , is combined with another thin prism \(\mathrm{P}_2\) made of glass having refractive index 1.72 to get dispersion without deviation. The angle of the prism \(P_2\) in degrees is _______.

  1. A 3
  2. B 16/3
  3. C 4
  4. D 1.5
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For dispersion without deviation, \(\begin{aligned} & \left(\mu_1-1\right) A_1=\left(\mu_2-1\right) A_2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad(1.54-1) 4^{\circ}=(1.72-1) A_2 \\ & \text { Or } A_2=\frac{0.54}{0.72} \times 4=3^{\circ} \end{aligned}\)
