  • A
    Equal to $2C$
  • B
    Less than $2C$
  • C

Light rays from a source are incident on a glass prism of refractive index $\mu$ and prism angle $\alpha$. At near-normal incidence,the angle of deviation of the emerging rays is:

$A$ prism is made up of material of refractive index $\sqrt{3}$. The angle of the prism is $A$. If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to the angle of the prism,then the value of $A$ is: (in $^{\circ}$)

It was found that the refractive index of the material of a certain prism varied as $\mu = 1.5 + 0.004 / \lambda^{2}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used to measure the refractive index. The same material was then used to construct a thin prism of apex angle $10^{\circ}$. Angles of minimum deviation $\delta_{m}$ of the prism were recorded for the sources with wavelengths $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$,respectively. Then,

The path of a refracted ray of light in a prism is parallel to the base of the prism only when the
