The correct answer is **B. the angle of incidence as well as the index of refraction**.
Angular dispersion of a prism is the phenomenon where different colors of light are refracted by different amounts by the prism, causing them to spread out and form a spectrum. This depends on both the angle of incidence (the angle at which the light hits the prism) and the index of refraction (a measure of how much the prism can bend the light). Different colors of light have slightly different indices of refraction, which is why they spread out into a spectrum. The prism angle also plays a role, but it's not listed as a combined option in your choices. So, the closest answer is B. the angle of incidence as well as the index of refraction.
The angular dispersion of a prism depends on the index of refraction, wavelength of the light ray passing though it, angle of prism and angle of incidence.
The angle of deviation depends upon: i The refracting angle of prism. ii The material of prism. iii The colour of light. iv The angle of incidence.
State the factors on which the angle of deviation depends. - Doubtnut
