What is the condition for dispersion without deviation?(a) δ-δ’=0(b) δ+δ’=0(c) δ × δ^‘=0(d) \(\frac {\delta}{\delta^{‘}}\)=0This question was posed to me during an interview for a job.The query is from Ray Optics topic in division Ray Optics and Optical Instruments of Physics – Class 12

Answer» CORRECT ANSWER is (b) δ+δ’=0

The explanation is: CONSIDER combining two prisms of refracting angles A and A’, and DISPERSIVE powers ω and ω’ respectively in such a WAY that their refracting angles are reversed concerning each other. For no deviation, the condition is:

δ+δ’=0

So, (μ-1)A+(μ’-1)A’=0orA’=-\(\frac {(\mu -1)A}{(\mu^{‘}-1)}\)
