$A$ 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:

Calculate the angle of minimum deviation for an equilateral triangular prism of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$. (in $^{\circ}$)

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:
