MCQ
By properly combining two prisms made of different materials, it is possible to:
- AHave dispersion without average deviation.
- BHave deviation without dispersion.
- CHave both dispersion and average deviation.
- ✓All of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
Consider the case of prisms combined such that the refractive angles are reversed w.r.t. each other. Then, the net deviation of the yellow ray will be,
$\delta_\text{y}=(\mu_\text{y}-1)\text{A}-(\mu_\text{y}'-1)\text{A}'$
And, the net angular dispersion will be
$\delta_\text{y}-\delta_\text{r}=(\mu_\text{y}-1)\text{A}(\omega-\omega')$
Thus, by choosing appropriate conditions, we can have the above mentioned cases.
$\delta_\text{y}=(\mu_\text{y}-1)\text{A}-(\mu_\text{y}'-1)\text{A}'$
And, the net angular dispersion will be
$\delta_\text{y}-\delta_\text{r}=(\mu_\text{y}-1)\text{A}(\omega-\omega')$
Thus, by choosing appropriate conditions, we can have the above mentioned cases.
