    The following data are given for a crown glass prism;
    refractive index for violet light \[{{n}_{v}}=1.521\]
    refractive index for red light \[{{n}_{r}}=1.510\]
    refractive index for yellow light \[{{n}_{y}}=1.515\]
    Then the dispersive power of a parallel glass slab made of the same material is

    A) 0.01  

    B) 0.03  

    C)

    D) 0.02

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Dispersive power \[(\omega )\] \[=\frac{{{n}_{v}}-{{n}_{r}}}{{{n}_{y}}-1}=\frac{1.521-1.510}{1.515-1}=0.02\]
