The refractive indices for certain crown and flint glasses are

 Crown: nC = 1.527, nD = 1.530, nF = 1.536

 Flint: nC = 1.630, nD = 1.635, nF = 1.648

The two glasses are to be combined in a double prism that is a direct-vision prism for the D wavelength. The refracting angle of the flint prism is 5°. Determine the required angle of the crown prism and the resulting angle of dispersion between the C and the F rays. Assume that the prisms are thin and the condition of minimum deviation is satisfied.
