For a prism of prism angle $\theta=60^{\circ}$,the refractive indices of the left half and the right half are,respectively,$n_1$ and $n_2$ $(n_2 \geq n_1)$ as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence $i$ is chosen such that the incident light rays will have minimum deviation if $n_1=n_2=n=1.5$. For the case of unequal refractive indices,$n_1=n$ and $n_2=n+\Delta n$ (where $\Delta n \ll n$),the angle of emergence $e=i+\Delta e$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is (are) correct?
$(A)$ The value of $\Delta e$ (in radians) is greater than that of $\Delta n$
$(B)$ $\Delta e$ is proportional to $\Delta n$
$(C)$ $\Delta e$ lies between $2.0$ and $3.0$ milliradians,if $\Delta n=2.8 \times 10^{-3}$
$(D)$ $\Delta e$ lies between $1.0$ and $1.6$ milliradians,if $\Delta n=2.8 \times 10^{-3}$

$A$ prism of refractive index $n_{1}$ and another prism of refractive index $n_{2}$ are stuck together (as shown in the figure). $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ depend on $\lambda$, the wavelength of light, according to the relation:
