The refractive index of glass for red light is $1.520$ and for blue light is $1.525$. Let $D_1$ and $D_2$ be the angles of deviation for red and blue light,respectively,in a prism of this glass. Then:

The refracting angle of a glass prism is $30^{\circ}$. $A$ ray is incident on one of the faces and is perpendicular to it. The angle of deviation $\delta$ between the incident ray and the ray that leaves the prism is (Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$) (Given: $\sin(30^{\circ}) = 0.5, \sin(48.6^{\circ}) = 0.75$).
