A triangular glass prism has an apex angle \(A = 60^{\circ}\). Its refractive index for light of wavelength \(\lambda\) (in nanometres) is given by \(n(\lambda)=1.6+\dfrac{4000}{\lambda^{2}}\). Light travels in air and passes through the prism. (a) Find the angle of minimum deviation \(D_{\min}\) for light of wavelength \(600\;\text{nm}\). (b) Determine the angular separation between the minimum deviations of the \(600\;\text{nm}\) and \(500\;\text{nm}\) wavelengths. Express your answers in degrees (to one decimal place).

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. D_min≈47.0°, ΔD≈0.4°
B. D_min≈45.5°, ΔD≈0.6°
C. D_min≈48.2°, ΔD≈0.2°
D. D_min≈46.0°, ΔD≈0.8°
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
D_min≈47.0°, ΔD≈0.4°
