The refractive index of flint glass for blue light is $1.6333$ and for red light is $1.6161$. Calculate the dispersive power of the prism,assuming the mean refractive index is approximately the average of the two given values.

The angle of a prism is $10^o$. The refractive indices for red and violet colours are $1.51$ and $1.52$ respectively. Find the dispersive power.

If the refractive indices of a prism for red,yellow,and violet colours are $1.61$,$1.63$,and $1.65$ respectively,then the dispersive power of the prism will be:

Let us list some of the factors,which could possibly influence the speed of wave propagation:
$(i)$ nature of the source.
$(ii)$ direction of propagation.
$(iii)$ motion of the source and/or observer.
$(iv)$ wavelength.
$(v)$ intensity of the wave.
On which of these factors,if any,does
$(a)$ the speed of light in vacuum,
$(b)$ the speed of light in a medium (say,glass or water),depend?

The splitting of white light into several colours on passing through a glass prism is due to

The refractive indices of red,yellow,and violet colors for a prism are $1.5140, 1.5170$,and $1.5318$ respectively. Calculate the dispersive power of this prism. For a second prism,the refractive indices for red,yellow,and violet colors are $1.6434, 1.6499$,and $1.6852$ respectively. Calculate the dispersive power of the second prism.
