View Solution

$A$ ray of light passing through a prism $(\mu = \sqrt{3})$ suffers minimum deviation. It is found that the angle of incidence is double the angle of refraction within the prism. Then,the angle of prism is ..... (in degrees).

For a small angled prism with prism angle $A$,the angle of minimum deviation $\delta$ varies with the refractive index $\mu$ of the prism as shown in the graph.

Consider the following statements for the refraction of light through a prism,when the angle of deviation is minimum.
$(A)$ The refracted ray inside the prism becomes parallel to the base.
$(B)$ Larger angle prisms provide smaller angle of minimum deviation.
$(C)$ The angle of incidence and the angle of emergence become equal.
$(D)$ There are always two sets of angles of incidence for which the deviation will be the same,except at the minimum deviation setting.
$(E)$ The angle of refraction becomes double the prism angle.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

$A$ ray of light is incident on the first face of an equilateral glass prism at an angle of incidence '$i$'. The emergent ray just grazes along the adjacent face. The refractive index of the prism is $\sqrt{2}$. The value of the angle of incidence at the first face is $(\sin 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2}, \sin 90^{\circ} = 1)$.
