Question 335: Ray Optics

Question

A thin prism of angle 15
o
made of glass of refractive index $\mu $
1
= 1.5 is combined with another prism of glass of refractive index $\mu $
2
= 1.75. The combination of the prisms produces dispersion without deviation. The angle of the second prism should be

Accepted Answer

For without deviation
${A \over {A'}} = {{\mu ' - 1} \over {\mu  - 1}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${{15} \over {A'}} = {{1.75 - 1} \over {1.50 - 1}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ A' = 10
