$A$ prism of refractive index $n_{1}$ and another prism of refractive index $n_{2}$ are stuck together (as shown in the figure). $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ depend on $\lambda$, the wavelength of light, according to the relation:
${n}_{1}=1.2+\frac{10.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}} \text{ and } {n}_{2}=1.45+\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}}$

$A$ ray of light is incident on the first face of an equilateral glass prism at an angle of incidence '$i$'. The emergent ray just grazes along the adjacent face. The refractive index of the prism is $\sqrt{2}$. The value of the angle of incidence at the first face is $(\sin 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2}, \sin 90^{\circ} = 1)$.

$A$ combination of two prisms,one of flint glass and another of crown glass,produces dispersion without deviation. The angle of the flint glass prism is $15^o$.
