The refractive index of a prism is measured using three lines of a mercury vapour lamp. If $\mu_1, \mu_2$ and $\mu_3$ are the measured refractive indices for these green,blue and yellow lines respectively,then

  • A
    $\mu_2 > \mu_3 > \mu_1$
  • B
    $\mu_2 > \mu_1 > \mu_3$
  • C
    $\mu_3 > \mu_2 > \mu_1$
  • D
    $\mu_1 > \mu_2 > \mu_3$

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:

$A$ prism has a refracting angle $A$. The second refracting surface of the prism is silvered. $A$ light ray falling on the first refracting surface with an angle of incidence $2A$ reaches the second surface and returns back along the same path due to reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index of the material of the prism is:
