A thin prism of angle \(6^{\circ}\) made of glass of refractive index 1.5 is combined with another prism made of refractive index 1.75 to produce dispersion without deviation. Then, the angle of the second prism is

  1. A \(5^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(8^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(4^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(6^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For dispersion without deviation Net deviation \(=0\) \( \delta-\delta^{\prime}=0 \Rightarrow A(\mu-1)-A^{\prime}\left(\mu^{\prime}-1\right)=0 \) where, \(\delta=\) deviation by first prism \(\delta^{\prime}=\) deviation by second prism \(A=\) angle of first prism \(=6^{\circ}\)…
