An equilateral glass prism has a refractive index 1.6 in the air. Calculate the angle of minimum deviation of the prism, when kept in a medium of refractive index `4sqrt(2)"/"5.`

उत्तर
When the prism is kept in another medium we have to take the refractive index of the prism with respect to the provided medium.
`"medium"^μ = ("μ"_"prism")/("μ"_"medium") = sin[((A + D_m)/2)]/sin(A/2)`
`1.6/((4sqrt(2))/5) = sin[((60^circ + D_m)/2)]/sin(60^circ/2)`
`sqrt(2) = sin[((60^circ + D_m)/2)]/(1/2)`
`sin^-1(1/sqrt(2)) = ((60^circ + D_m)/2)`
`90^circ = 60^circ + D_m`
`D_m = 30^circ`

Give the formula that can be used to determine refractive index of materials of a prism in minimum deviation condition ?
The refractive index of a material M1 changes by 0.014 and that of another material M2 changes by 0.024 as the colour of the light is changed from red to violet. Two thin prisms, one made of M1(A = 5.3°) and the other made of M2(A = 3.7°) are combined with their refracting angles oppositely directed. (a) Find the angular dispersion produced by the combination. (b) The prisms are now combined with their refracting angles similarly directed. Find the angular dispersion produced by the combination.
