White light is passed through a prism of angle 5^@. If the refractive indices for red and blue colours are 1.641 and 1.659 respectively, calculate the angle of dispersion between them.

Answer»

Solution :As forsmallangleof prism` delta= ( mu -1) A ,`
` delta _h=( 1.659-1)XX 5^0 = 3.2295 ^0 and `
` delta_r= (1.641-1) xx 5^@= 3.205^@ ` so
` theta = delta _b -delta _r= 3.2 295 ^0 - 3.205^@= 0.090 ^@`
