The respective angles of the flint and crown glass prisms are $A'$ and $A$. They are to be used for dispersion without deviation. The ratio of their angles $A'/A$ will be:

  • A
    $-\frac{(\mu_y - 1)}{(\mu_y' - 1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{(\mu_y' - 1)}{(\mu_y - 1)}$
  • C
    $(\mu_y' - 1)$
  • D
    $(\mu_y - 1)$
