उत्तर
(i) When QR is parallel to the base BC, we have: i = e
\[\Rightarrow r_1 = r_2 = r\]
We know that
\[r_1 + r_2 = A\]
\[ \Rightarrow r + r = A \]
\[ \therefore r = A/2\]
(ii) Also, we have:
A + D= i + e
Substituting, D = Dm and e = i
A + Dm= i + i
∴ Dm=2i - A

The angular dispersion produced by a prism ___________ .
Three thin prisms are combined as shown in figure. The refractive indices of the crown glass for red, yellow and violet rays are μr, μy and μv respectively and those for the flint glass are μ'r, μ'y and μ'v respectively. Find the ratio A'/A for which (a) there is no net angular dispersion, and (b) there is no net deviation in the yellow ray.

The deviation produced for violet, yellow and red lights for crown glass are 3.75°, 3.25° and 2.86° respectively. Calculate the dispersive power of the crown glass.
