Want this question answered?
the dispersive power of prism can be defined as the rate of change of angle of deviation in specific spectrum of light ..
yes of-course
It works under the principle of refraction and the phenomenon of dispersion.
A dispersive prism can break light into its spectral colours, or the colours of the rainbow
.04 to .05 typically about 0.47
Rainbow is not similar to prism.A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky.A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract light with at least two of the flat surfaces having an angle between them.A dispersive prism can be used to break light up into its constituent spectral colors (the colors of the rainbow).So the water droplets can be considered as being similar to a dispersive prism.
It is called Visible light Spectrum.
That depends on its application in science or geometry which has not been given. In science it can turn light into different colours and in geometry it can be in the form of a triangular prism.
Prisms and gratings have different dispersive properties. Grating has a linear dispersion of wavelengths meaning the band on the focal plane varies linearly with the wavelength. Prisms are not linear, the shorter the wavelength the greater the dispersion. Thus, when a spectrum is being scanned, the dispersive device needs to rotates different amounts depending on whether it is prism or grating to focus light on the exit slit. If its grating, the slit width will need to be varied minimally; if it is a prism, the slit width will need larger changes as the dispersion gets greater.
The minimum deviation of a prism can be calculated using the formula: δ = (n - 1)A, where δ is the minimum deviation, n is the refractive index of the prism, and A is the angle of the prism. If the refractive index of the prism is three to the power of half, or √3, and the value of A is known, the minimum deviation can be calculated using the formula.
