In the visible region, the dispersive powers and the mean angular deviation for crown, and flint glass prisms are ω\omega and ω′\omega^{\prime} and dd and d′d^{\prime} respectively. When the two prism are combined, the condition of zero dispersion by the combination is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
(ωd)2+(ω′d′)2=0(\omega d)^2+\left(\omega^{\prime} d^{\prime}\right)^2=0
Option B (ωd+ω′d′=0\omega d+\omega^{\prime} d^{\prime}=0) is correct because the condition for zero dispersion is that the net angular dispersion is zero, which means the dispersive powers and mean deviations must satisfy this equation.
