Question
Why is there no dispersion in the light refracted through a rectangular glass slab?
✓

Answer

It can be considered to be equivalent to two prisms in reverse way. In the case of a rectangular glass slab the rays of all colours combine together in the reverse prism. Hence, there is no dispersion.
