In the visible region,the dispersive powers and the mean angular deviations for crown and flint glass prisms are $\omega, \omega^{\prime}$ and $d, d^{\prime}$ respectively. The condition for obtaining dispersion without deviation,when the two prisms are combined,is:

  • A
    $d + d^{\prime} = 0$
  • B
    $\omega^{\prime} d + \omega d^{\prime} = 0$
  • C
    $\omega d + \omega^{\prime} d^{\prime} = 0$
  • D
    $\omega d^2 + \omega^{\prime} d^{\prime 2} = 0$

The face $AC$ is silvered. $A$ ray of light is incident normally on the face $AB$ and after two reflections,it emerges from the base $BC$ perpendicular to the base. The angle $BAC$ of the prism is: (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ plane polarized blue light ray is incident on a prism such that there is no reflection from the surface of the prism. The angle of deviation of the emergent ray is $\delta=60^{\circ}$ (see Figure-$1$). The angle of minimum deviation for red light from the same prism is $\delta_{\text{min}}=30^{\circ}$ (see Figure-$2$). The refractive index of the prism material for blue light is $\sqrt{3}$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ The blue light is polarized in the plane of incidence.
$(B)$ The angle of the prism is $60^{\circ}$.
$(C)$ The refractive index of the material of the prism for red light is $\sqrt{2}$.

On which factors does the angle of deviation produced by a prism depend?

$A$ thin prism of glass is placed in air and water successively. If $_a\mu _g = 3/2$ and $_a\mu _w = 4/3$,then the ratio of the deviation produced by the prism for a small angle of incidence when placed in air and water is
