In the visible region, the dispersive powers and the mean angular deviations for crown and flint glass prisms are $\omega, \omega^{\prime}$ and $d, d^{\prime}$ respectively. The condition for obtaining dispersion without deviation, when the two prisms are combined, is:

  • A
    $d + d^{\prime} = 0$
  • B
    $\omega^{\prime} d + \omega d^{\prime} = 0$
  • C
    $\omega d + \omega^{\prime} d^{\prime} = 0$
  • D
    $\omega d^2 + \omega^{\prime} d^{\prime 2} = 0$
