If the refractive indices of crown glass for red,yellow,and violet colours are respectively $\mu_r$,$\mu_y$,and $\mu_v$,then the dispersive power of this glass would be

  • A
    $\frac{\mu_v - \mu_y}{\mu_r - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_v - \mu_r}{\mu_y - 1}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_v - \mu_y}{\mu_y - \mu_r}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu_v - \mu_r}{\mu_y} - 1$
