The Problem: "A thin prism of angle 5° is combined with another prism of angle 8°. Calculate the net deviation for yellow light." (Ghatak, Ch 5: Dispersion)
Step 1: Deviation for prism 1: δ₁ = (μ₁ - 1)A₁ Step 2: Deviation for prism 2: δ₂ = (μ₂ - 1)A₂ Step 3: Net deviation = δ₁ + δ₂ (if crossed, subtract).
In this video, we solve: [Insert specific problem number and text].
📚 Ghatak, A. (2017). Optics (6th ed.). McGraw Hill. 🎯 Target Exams: IIT JAM, JEST, TIFR, B.Sc Physics Hons, CUET PG.
If you are a physics major in India, you cannot avoid Optics by Ajoy Ghatak. It is the gold standard. However, the book is famously terse—the end-of-chapter problems are brilliant but have no official solved manual. That’s where we come in.
