JEE Main & Advanced Physics Question Bank Prism Theory and Dispersion of Light

  • question_answer
    The refractive index of the material of the prism for violet colour is 1.69 and that for red is 1.65.  If the refractive index for mean colour is 1.66, the dispersive power of the material of the prism                                   [JIPMER 1999]

    A)            0.66                                          

    B)            0.06

    C)            0.65                                          

    D)            0.69

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               \[\omega =\frac{({{\mu }_{v}}-{{\mu }_{R}})}{({{\mu }_{y}}-1)}\]\[\Rightarrow \frac{(1.69-1.65)}{(1.66-1)}=0.06\]
