Question

A deviation of 2 is produced in the yellow ray when prism of crown and flint glass are achromatically combined. Taking dispersive powers of crown and flint glass as 0.02 and 0.03 respectively and refractive index for yellow light for these glasses are 1.5 and 1.6 respectively. The refracting angles for crown glass prism will be (in degree).
(Round off to the Nearest Integer)

Solution

In achromatic combination, dispersion is zero but deviation is non-zero.
Net deviation is given as: δnet=(μ11)A1(μ21)A22=0.5A10.6A2 ...(1)

Condition for dispersion to be zero is given as: ω1(μ11)A1=ω2(μ21)A20.02(0.5)A1=0.03(0.6)A2
10A1=18A2 ...(2)

From equation (1) and (2):
2=A12A13
A1=12
