Question

A thin prism having refracting angle 10o is made of glass of refractive index 1.42. This prism is combined with another thin prism of glass of refractive index 1.7. This combination produces dispersion without deviation. The refracting angle of second prism should be

Solution

The correct option is C 6o

Dispersion without deviation this means that ray which is entering and the ray which is going out both are parallel,
As given,
A1=refracting angle of first prism=10o, μ1=1.42, μ2=1.7
A2=refracting angle of second prism
As, δ=(μ1)A
So, δTotal=δ1δ2=0
where δ is the daviation and in this case total deviation is zero.
δ1=δ2
A2(μ21)=A1(μ11)
A2(0.7)=10(0.42)
A2=60
