The refractive index of glass for red light is $1.520$ and for blue light is $1.525$. Let $D_1$ and $D_2$ be the angles of 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
    $D_1$ and $D_2$ depend on the angle of the prism.
  • D
    $D_1 > D_2$
