Consider the four different cases of dispersion of light ray which has all the wave lengths from to (). The dotted represents the light ray of wave length . Which ray diagram is showing maximum dispersive power?

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

(ratio of spread to mean deviation)

For (B) the mean-ray deviation is nearly zero while the spread is large

So (B) shows maximum dispersive power
