Name the scientist who was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight.
The dispersive powers of flint glass and crown glass are 0.053 and 0.034, respectively and their mean refractive indices are 1.68 and 1.53 for white light. Calculate the angle of the flint glass prism required to form an achromatic combination with a crown glass prism of refracting angle 4°:
