EASY
IMPORTANT

A thin prism P1 with angle 4° and made from glass of refractive index 1.54 is combined with another prism P2, made of glass of refractive index 1.72 to produce dispersion without deviation. The angle of prism P2 is

EASY
IMPORTANT

If the refractive indices of a prism for red, yellow and violet colours be 1.61,1.63 and 1.65 respectively, then the dispersive power of the prism will be

EASY
IMPORTANT

Light of wavelength 4000 A is incident at small angle on a prism of apex angle 4°. The prism has nv=1.5 and nr=1.48 .The angle of dispersion produced by the prism in this light is

EASY
IMPORTANT

A convex lens has mean focal length of 20 cm. The dispersive power of the material of the lens is 0.02. The longitudinal chromatic aberration for an object at infinity is

EASY
IMPORTANT

The condition for an achromatic doublet is (here f1 and f2 are the focal length and ω1 and ω2 are dispersive powers of individual lenses.)

The refractive index for the light of violet and red colour of any material are 1.66 and 1.64 respectively. If the angle of prism made of this material is 10°. Then angular dispersion is
