Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$ : When white light is passed through a prism,the red light bends less than yellow and violet light.
Statement $II$ : The refractive indices are different for different wavelengths in a dispersive medium.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.
  • C
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false.
  • D
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true.

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:

$A$ thin prism of glass is placed in air and water successively. If $_a\mu _g = 3/2$ and $_a\mu _w = 4/3$,then the ratio of the deviation produced by the prism for a small angle of incidence when placed in air and water is

The refractive index of the material of a glass prism is $\sqrt{3}$. If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism,then the angle of the prism is:
$\left(\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sin 60^{\circ}, \sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} = \cos 60^{\circ}\right)$ (in $^{\circ}$)

If the angle of minimum deviation produced by an equilateral prism is equal to the angle of the prism, then the refractive index of the material of the prism is nearly

$A$ prism of refractive index $1.53$ is placed in water of refractive index $1.33$. If the angle of prism is $60^{\circ}$,the angle of minimum deviation in water will be ........$^{\circ}$ $(\sin 35.1^{\circ} = 0.575)$
