Dispersive Power
Material required:
Theory :
Dispersive power of prism ω=(δv – δr)/δ
δv=angle of minimum deviation for voilet light
δr=angle of minimum deviation for red light
δ=angle of minimum deviation for yellow light
Procedure
• The axis of collimator and telescope must cut
the axis of center of prism table for a clear
pattern.
• With the help of rack and pinion method move
the telescope such that the rays from the
source fall parallel to the crosswire.
• The distance between slit and collimator is
maintained such that the slit appears to be
narrow.
