Three prisms $1, 2,$ and $3$ have a prism angle $A = 60^{\circ}$. Their refractive indices are $1.4, 1.5,$ and $1.6$ respectively. If $\delta_1, \delta_2,$ and $\delta_3$ are their angles of deviation,then:

  • A
    $\delta_3 > \delta_2 > \delta_1$
  • B
    $\delta_1 > \delta_2 > \delta_3$
  • C
    $\delta_1 = \delta_2 = \delta_3$
  • D
    $\delta_2 > \delta_1 > \delta_3$
