  • A
    $9:13$
  • B
    $4:5$
  • C
    $9:11$
  • D

In the diagram,a ray is passing through a broken prism. Find the angular deviation for the ray. (in $^{\circ}$)

The refractive index of the material of a glass prism is $\sqrt{3}$. If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism,then the angle of the prism is:
$\left(\cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sin 60^{\circ}, \sin 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} = \cos 60^{\circ}\right)$ (in $^{\circ}$)

$A$ prism of refractive index $n_{1}$ and another prism of refractive index $n_{2}$ are stuck together (as shown in the figure). $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ depend on $\lambda$, the wavelength of light, according to the relation:
