A. The index of refraction only
B. The angle of incidence as well as the index of refraction
C. The angle of incidence only
D. The thickness of the prism only
Correct Answer: Option A
A. The index of refraction only
Explanation
Dispersion is due to different refractive indices speeds and wavelengths.
![A ray of light incident at an angle θ in a rectangular prism grazes the surface of the prism on emerging from the prism. Determine the value of the angle. [Absolute refractive index of the material of the prism is 1.5] A ray of light incident at an angle θ in a rectangular prism grazes the surface of the prism on emerging from the prism.
