If the refractive indices of a prism for red,yellow,and violet colours are $1.61$,$1.63$,and $1.65$ respectively,then the dispersive power of the prism will be:

  • A
    $\frac{1.65 - 1.62}{1.61 - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{1.62 - 1.61}{1.65 - 1}$
  • C
    $\frac{1.65 - 1.61}{1.63 - 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{1.65 - 1.63}{1.61 - 1}$
