omega1 = (mu_V - mu_R)/(mu_Y - 1); // Dispersive power of the crown glass convex lens
F = 150; // Focal length of the combination of lenses, cm

f1 = R/(2*(mu_Y-1)); // Focal length of the convex lens from thin lens maker formula, cm
f2 = F*f1/(f1 - F); // Focal length of the second lens, cm
// As omega1/omega2 = -f1/f2, solving for omega2
omega2 = -f2/f1*omega1; // Dispersive power of flint glass
printf("\nThe dispersive power of flint glass = %5.3f", omega2);
// Result
// The dispersive power of flint glass = 0.056
