Two prisms each of apex angle 5∘ are made of different optical glasses. For the same monochromatic light, the refractive indices are μ1=1.46 (silica) and μ2=1.62 (flint).
a. (i) Calculate separately the approximate deviations d1 and d2 produced by the two prisms.
b. (ii) Determine the ratio d2/d1 and comment on which prism produces the larger deviation and why.
