    The refractive index of glass is 1.520 for red light and 1.525 for blue light. Let \[{{D}_{1}}\] and \[{{D}_{2}}\] be angles of minimum deviation for red and blue light respectively in a prism of this glass, then,

    A)  \[{{D}_{1}}<{{D}_{2}}\]                

    B)         \[{{D}_{1}}={{D}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{D}_{1}}\] can be less than or greater than\[{{D}_{2}}\] depending upon the angle of prism

    D)  \[{{D}_{1}}>{{D}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[D=(\mu -1)A\] For blue light |i is greater than that for red light, so\[{{D}_{2}}>{{D}_{1}}\].
