MCQ

By properly combining two prisms made of different materials, it is possible to:

A
Have dispersion without average deviation.
B
Have deviation without dispersion.
C
Have both dispersion and average deviation.
✓
All of the above.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

All of the above.

Explanation:
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.

Assertion : If different gases are filled turn by turn at the same pressure in the discharge tube the discharge in them takes place at the same potential.
Reason : The discharge depends only on the pressure of discharge tube and not on the ionisation potential of gas.
