$A$ prism of a certain angle deviates the red and blue rays by $8^{\circ}$ and $12^{\circ}$ respectively. Another prism of the same angle deviates the red and blue rays by $10^{\circ}$ and $14^{\circ}$ respectively. The prisms are small-angled and made of different materials. The dispersive powers of the materials of the prisms are in the ratio:

  • A
    $5: 6$
  • B
    $9: 11$
  • C
    $6: 5$
  • D
    $11: 9$

For an equilateral prism,the angle of incidence and the angle of emergence are each equal to $3/4$ of the prism angle. The angle of deviation is .......... $^o$.

$A$ ray of monochromatic light is incident on one refracting face of a prism of angle $75^o$. It passes through the prism and is incident on the other face at the critical angle. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\sqrt{2}$,the angle of incidence on the first face of the prism is.......$^o$.

The respective angles of the flint and crown glass prisms are $A'$ and $A$. They are to be used for dispersion without deviation. The ratio of their angles $A'/A$ will be:

It was found that the refractive index of the material of a certain prism varied as $\mu = 1.5 + 0.004 / \lambda^{2}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used to measure the refractive index. The same material was then used to construct a thin prism of apex angle $10^{\circ}$. Angles of minimum deviation $\delta_{m}$ of the prism were recorded for the sources with wavelengths $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$,respectively. Then,
