Q113 / 150 · JEE Main 2006 · Physics

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

  • A
    $D_1>D_2$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{D}_1 < \mathrm{D}_2$
  • C
    $D_1=D_2$
  • D
    $D_1$ can be less than or greater than depending upon the angle of prism

Solution

$D=(\mu-1) A$ $D_2>D_1$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
