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:

The refracting angle of a prism is $A$ and the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\cot \frac{A}{2}$. The angle of minimum deviation is:

One face of the glass prism is silver polished. $A$ light ray falls at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ on the other face. After refraction,it is subsequently reflected from the silvered face and then retraces its path. The refracting angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the prism is

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 :

Three prisms $1, 2,$ and $3$ have a prism angle $A = 60^{\circ}$. Their refractive indices are $1.4, 1.5,$ and $1.6$ respectively. If $\delta_1, \delta_2,$ and $\delta_3$ are their angles of deviation,then:
