A triangular prism made of glass with refractive index \(n=1.50\) for the given light has an apex angle \(A=40^{\circ}\). A ray of light strikes one face of the prism at an angle of incidence \(i_{1}=30^{\circ}\) with respect to the normal. (i) Find the angle of deviation \(\delta\) of the emergent ray. (ii) For the same prism, the refractive index is \(n_{600}=1.48\) for light of wavelength \(600\ \text{nm}\) and \(n_{450}=1.52\) for light of wavelength \(450\ \text{nm}\). Determine the angular dispersion \(\Delta\delta\) between the emergent rays of these two wavelengths.

Answer Options

A. Deviation for n=1.50 is approximately 19.5°; angular dispersion between 600 nm and 450 nm rays is about 2.3°.
B. Deviation for n=1.50 is approximately 20.0°; angular dispersion between 600 nm and 450 nm rays is about 2.8°.
C. Deviation for n=1.50 is approximately 23.0°; angular dispersion between 600 nm and 450 nm rays is about 1.2°.
Correct Answer D. Deviation for n=1.50 is approximately 21.8°; angular dispersion between 600 nm and 450 nm rays is about 1.9°.
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Deviation for n=1.50 is approximately 21.8°; angular dispersion between 600 nm and 450 nm rays is about 1.9°.
