NEET 2017 Physics Prism MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

A thin prism having refracting angle 10° is made of glass of refractive index 1.42. This prism is combined with another thin prism of glass of refractive index 1.7. This combination produces dispersion without deviation. The refracting angle of second prism should be

A

B

C

10°

D

Correct Answer
