Dispersive Power of a Prism

Dispersive power of a prism depends on
Angle of the prism
Size of the prism
Material of the prism
Both (1) and (2)

Solution:

Dispersive power (\(\omega\)) of a prism depends only on the nature of the material of the prism, and is independent of the refracting angle and size of the prism.
