Dispersion by a Prism
Important Questions on Dispersion by a Prism
A thin prism with angle and made from glass of refractive index is combined with another prism , made of glass of refractive index to produce dispersion without deviation. The angle of prism is

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

Light of wavelength is incident at small angle on a prism of apex angle The prism has and .The angle of dispersion produced by the prism in this light is

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

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

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