    A thin prism of angle \[15{}^\circ \] with refractive index \[{{\mu }_{1}}=1.5\] is combined with another prism of refractive index\[{{\mu }_{2}}=1.75\]. The combination of prism produces dispersion without deviation. The angle of second prism is

    A)  \[10{}^\circ \]                         

    B)  \[20{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[5{}^\circ \]                           

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Dispersion without deviation, \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{S}_{1}}+{{S}_{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,(\mu -1)\,{{A}_{1}}+\,\,({{\mu }_{2}}-1)\,{{A}_{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{A}_{2}}=\frac{-({{\mu }_{1}}-1)}{({{\mu }_{2}}-1)}\,{{A}_{1}}\] Substituting values \[{{A}_{2}}=\frac{-(1.5-1)\,15{}^\circ }{(1.75-1)}\,\,=\,\,-10{}^\circ \] \[\left| {{A}_{2}} \right|\,\,=\,\,10{}^\circ \] Negative sign indicates the second prism must be joined in opposition.
