The refractive index of flint glass for blue light is $1.6333$ and for red light is $1.6161$. Calculate the dispersive power of the prism,assuming the mean refractive index is approximately the average of the two given values.

If the refractive indices of red,violet,and yellow lights are $1.42$,$1.62$,and $1.50$ respectively for a medium,its dispersive power will be:

The angle of a prism is $10^o$. The refractive indices for red and violet colours are $1.51$ and $1.52$ respectively. Find the dispersive power.
