A thin prism with angle \( 5^{\circ} \) of refractive index 1.72 is combined with another prism of refractive index 1.9 to produce dispersion without deviation. The angle of second prism is ___________.

  1. A \( 4.5^{\circ} \)
  2. B \( 6^{\circ} \)
  3. C \( 4^{\circ} \)
  4. D \( 5^{\circ} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( 4^{\circ} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \delta_{net}=0 \) \( \delta_{1}+\delta_{2}=0 \) \( (\mu_{1}-1)A_{1}+(\mu_{2}-1)A_{2}=0 \) \( A_{2}=\frac{(\mu_{1}-1)A_{1}}{(\mu_{2}-1)} \) \( A_{2}=\frac{(1.72-1)}{(1.9-1)}\times5^{\circ}=4^{\circ} \)
