A thin prism having refracting angle \(10^o \) is made of glass of refractive index \(1.42.\) This prism is combined with another thin prism of glass of refractive index \(1. 7.\) This combination produces dispersion without deviation. The refracting angle of second prism should be....\(^o\)

  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The condition for dispersion without deviation is given as \((\mu-1) A=\left(\mu^{\prime}-1\right) A^{\prime}\) Given \(\mu=1.42, A=10^{\circ}, \mu^{\prime}=1.7, A^{\prime}=?\)
