Angle of Deviation in Dispersion Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Deviation = (Coefficient of Refraction-1)*Angle of Prism
D = (μ-1)*A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Angle of Deviation - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Deviation is the angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray in the optical axis after passing through a lens or prism in optics.
Coefficient of Refraction - Coefficient of Refraction is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specific medium, describing how much a light beam is refracted when passing through it.
Angle of Prism - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Prism is the angle at which a light beam enters the prism, affecting the refraction and dispersion of light as it passes through the prism.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

What is the Dispersion?

Dispersion is the phenomenon where light separates into its constituent colors when passing through a medium, such as a prism. This occurs because different wavelengths of light refract at different angles, resulting in a spectrum of colors. Dispersion is responsible for the formation of rainbows and is a fundamental concept in optics.

How to Calculate Angle of Deviation in Dispersion?

Angle of Deviation in Dispersion calculator uses Angle of Deviation = (Coefficient of Refraction-1)*Angle of Prism to calculate the Angle of Deviation, Angle of Deviation in Dispersion formula is defined as a measure of how much a specific wavelength of light is bent from its original path when passing through the prism, leading to the separation of light into its constituent colors, it is determined by the coefficient of refractive index of the material and the angle of the prism. Angle of Deviation is denoted by D symbol.

How to calculate Angle of Deviation in Dispersion using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Angle of Deviation in Dispersion, enter Coefficient of Refraction (μ) & Angle of Prism (A) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Angle of Deviation in Dispersion calculation can be explained with given input values -> 517.3809 = (1.28-1)*0.610865238197901.
