(1) (a) We know that  d = A (m – 1)
or  m = 1 + 
A
d
Here A = 6 °, d = 3° , therefore
m = 1 +

 = 1.5
(2) (c) According to given problem
A = 30°, i
1
 = 60°  and  d = 30°  and as in a prism
d = (i
1
 + i
2
) – A,  30°  = (60 + i
2
) – 30 i.e.,  i
2
 = 0
So the emergent ray is perpendicular to the face from
which it emerges.
Now as  i

 = 0, r
2
 = 0
But as  r

 = A ,  r

 = A = 30°
So at first face
1× sin 60° = m sin 30°    i.e., m =

r’ = 180º
Þ 
 
r’
 
= 90º – r
or, r’ = (90º – i)  as  Ð i = Ðr
Now, according to Snell’s law :
sin i = m sin r’ = m sin (90º – i)
or, tan i = m
or,  i = tan

 m = tan

Here A = 6 °, d = 3° , therefore
m = 1 +

(2) (c) According to given problem
A = 30°, i

d = (i

2
) – A,  30°  = (60 + i
2
) – 30 i.e.,  i

So the emergent ray is perpendicular to the face from
which it emerges.
Now as  i

But as  r

So at first face

Þ

or, r’ = (90º – i)  as  Ð i = Ðr
Now, according to Snell’s law :
sin i = m sin r’ = m sin (90º – i)
or, tan i = m
or,  i = tan

 m = tan

But as  r

Similarly , the angular dispersion produced by the flint

The deviation in the yellow ray produced by the crown

is
d – d´ = (m – 1) A – (m´ – 1) A´
or 1° = 0.517 A – 0.621 A´                             ......(2)
Solving (1) and (2 ), A = 4.8° and A´ = 2.4°. Thus, the
crown prism should have its refracting angle 4.8° and
that of the flint prism should be 2.4°.

Solving (1) and (2 ), A = 4.8° and A´ = 2.4°. Thus, the
