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

  • question_answer
    In the visible region the dispersive powers and the mean angular deviations for crown and flint glass prisms are w, w¢ and d, d¢ respectively. The condition for getting deviation without dispersion when the two prisms are combined is [EAMCET 2001]

    A)            \[\sqrt{\omega d}\,+\,\sqrt{{\omega }'{d}'}=0\]     

    B)            \[{\omega }'d+\omega {d}'=0\]

    C)            \[\omega d+{\omega }'{d}'=0\]                                       

    D)            \[{{(\omega d)}^{2}}+{{({\omega }'{d}')}^{2}}=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[{{\theta }_{net}}=\theta +{\theta }'=0\]\[\Rightarrow \omega d+{\omega }'{d}'=0\] (\[\theta \]= Angular dispersion =\[\omega .\ {{\delta }_{y}}\])
