For flint and crown glass prisms,the prism angles are $A'$ and $A$ respectively. When they are used to produce dispersion without deviation,the ratio $A'/A$ will be:

  • A
    $\frac{(\mu_y - 1)}{(\mu_y' - 1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{(\mu_y' - 1)}{(\mu_y - 1)}$
  • C
    $(\mu_y' - 1)$
  • D
    $(\mu_y - 1)$

If a thin prism of glass is dipped into water,then the minimum deviation (with respect to air) of light produced by the prism will be: $\left( {_a{\mu _g} = \frac{3}{2} \text{ and } _a{\mu _w} = \frac{4}{3}} \right)$

Three prisms of crown glass,each having a prism angle of $9^o$,and two prisms of flint glass are used to make a direct vision spectroscope.
