The refractive index of silicon depends on the wavelength of light according to the figure below. The light beam from the mercury discharge tube hits the silicon prism perpendicularly.
Light includes, among other things, a purple component (wavelength 405 nm) and a red component (wavelength 690 nm). The folding angle φ of the prism is 34.0°. What is the angle between the purple and red rays in the light passing through the prism?
Given,
Wavelength of purple light
Wavelength of red light component
Folding angle of prism
As in the question there is some diagram, but it is not showing due to some error so i am taking some it .
Similarly, for the wavelength of red light,
Hence, the resultant angle,
