The refracting angle of a glass prism is $30^{\circ}$. $A$ ray is incident on one of the faces and is perpendicular to it. The angle of deviation $\delta$ between the incident ray and the ray that leaves the prism is (Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$) (Given: $\sin(30^{\circ}) = 0.5, \sin(48.6^{\circ}) = 0.75$). (in $^{\circ}$)

The figures represent three cases of a ray passing through a prism of angle $A$. The case corresponding to minimum deviation is

Angle of deviation $(\delta)$ by a prism (refractive index = $\mu$ and supposing the angle of prism $A$ to be small) can be given by

For an equilateral prism,the angle of incidence and the angle of emergence are each equal to $3/4$ of the prism angle. The angle of deviation is .......... $^o$.

$A$ ray of light passes through an equilateral prism such that the angle of incidence $(i)$ is equal to the angle of emergence $(e)$. The angle of emergence is equal to $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$ of the angle of the prism. The angle of deviation is: (in $^{\circ}$)
