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)
Welcome to the most detailed solution series for Ajoy Ghatak’s Optics .
The Trick: Don’t memorize formulas. Use Cauchy’s relation and small-angle approximation.

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).
