Important Questions on Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

The refractive indices of crown glass for blue and red light are and Respectively and those of the flint glass are and Respectively. An isosceles prism of angle Is made of crown glass. A beam of white light is incident at a small angle on this prism. The other flint glass isosceles prism is combined with the crown glass prism such that there is no deviation of the incident light. Determine the angle of the flint glass prism.

The refractive indices of crown glass for blue and red light are and respectively and those of the flint glass are and respectively. An isosceles prism of angle is made of crown glass. A beam of white light is incident at a small angle on this prism. The other flint glass isosceles prism is combined with the crown glass prism such that there is no deviation of the incident light.
Calculate the net dispersion of the combined system.
