what is dispersive power?
  • 1 answers

Amar Kumar 8 years ago

Dispersive power : Power of a transparent medium to separate different colors of light by refraction as measured by the difference in refractivity for two specified widely differing wavelengths divided by the refractivity at some specified intermediate wavelength

Dispersive power is basically a measure of the amount of difference in the refraction of the highest and lowest wavelengths that enter the prism. This is expressed in the angle between the 2 extreme wavelengths. The greater the dispersive power, the greater the angle between them, and vice-versa.
