    The refractive index of glass is 1.520 for red light and 1.525 for blue light. Let \[{{D}_{1}}\] and \[{{D}_{2}}\] be angles of minimum deviation for red and blue light respectively in a prism of this glass, then,

    A) \[{{D}_{1}}<{{D}_{2}}\]

    B) \[{{D}_{1}}={{D}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{D}_{1}}\] can be less than or greater than \[{{D}_{2}}\] depending upon the angle of prism

    D) \[{{D}_{1}}>{{D}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[D=(\mu -1)A\] For blue light u is greater than that for red light,  \[{{D}_{2}}>{{D}_{1}}\].
