    Calculate the dispersive power. (b) Find the angular dispersion produced by a thin prism of angle 6° made of this material. (b) Find the angular dispersion produced by a thin prism of angle 6° made of this material.
    Ans : Dispersive power `` \left(\omega \right)`` is given by
    `` \omega =\frac{{\mu }_{v}-{u}_{r}}{{\mu }_{y}-1}``
    `` \,\mathrm{\,On\,}\,\mathrm{\,substituting\,}\,\mathrm{\,the\,}\,\mathrm{\,values\,}\,\mathrm{\,in\,}\,\mathrm{\,the\,}\,\mathrm{\,above\,}\,\mathrm{\,formula\,},\,\mathrm{\,we\,}\,\mathrm{\,get\,}:``
    `` \omega =\frac{\left(1.68-1.56\right)}{\left(1.60-1\right)}``
    `` =\frac{0.12}{0.60}=0.2`` (b) Angular dispersion = (μv - μr)A
    =(0.12) × 6° = 0.72°
    Thus, the angular dispersion produced by the thin prism is 0.72°.
