1. Assertion (A): Consider a prism A of refracting angle \(5^0\), and another prism B of refracting angle \(10^0\), . Both prisms are made of crown glass. If white light is incident on each prism, angular dispersion caused by prism B will be more. Reason (R): Dispersive power depends on the nature material.  
2. A ray of light is incident normally on one face of a thin prism of refractive index \(mu\) and emerges at an angle (e) from the normal. Angle of prism \(A\) is nearly
3. Assertion (A): A ray of white light shows no dispersion on emerging from a glass slab although there occurs dispersion inside the glass slab. Reason (R): The velocity of light inside the glass slab is same for all different colours.  
4. A thin prism of angle $15^\circ$ made of glass of refractive index $\mu_1 = 1.5$ is combined with another prism of glass of refractive index ( $\mu_2 = 1.75$ ). The combination of the prisms produces dispersion without deviation. The angle of the second prism should be: (2011 Mains)
5. The refractive index of the material of a prism is $\sqrt{2}$ and the angle of the prism is $30^\circ$. One of the two refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards, by silver coating. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is: (2018)
