An equilateral prism $P$ produces a minimum deviation for a given light ray. Additional prisms $Q$ and $R$ of the same shape and material are placed as shown in the figure. The ray will experience:

  • A
    More deviation
  • B
    Same deviation
  • C
    No deviation
  • D
    Total internal reflection
