Which one of the following relations represents the dispersive power ω\omega of a prism material in terms of the refractive indices for violet (μv\mu_v), red (μr\mu_r) and the mean colour (μ\mu)? (a) (μv−μr)/(μ+1)(\mu_v-\mu_r)/(\mu+1) (b) (μv+μr)/(μ−1)(\mu_v+\mu_r)/(\mu-1) (c) (μv−μr)/(μ−1)(\mu_v-\mu_r)/(\mu-1) (d) (μv−μr)/μ(\mu_v-\mu_r)/\mu
