An equilateral prism deviates a ray through $40^{\circ}$ for two angles of incidence differing by $20^{\circ}$. The possible angles of incidence are:

  • A
    $40^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}$
  • B
    $50^{\circ}, 30^{\circ}$
  • C
    $45^{\circ}, 55^{\circ}$
  • D
    $30^{\circ}, 60^{\circ}$

$A$ light ray is incident on a prism of angle $A = 30^{\circ}$ at an angle of incidence of $60^{\circ}$. If the emergent ray makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the incident ray,then find the refractive index of the prism $:-$

The ratio of the angle of minimum deviation of a prism in air to that when it is dipped in water is (given $_a\mu_g = 3/2$ and $_a\mu_w = 4/3$).

$A$ beam of monochromatic light is incident at $i = 50^{\circ}$ on one face of an equilateral prism. If the angle of emergence is $e = 40^{\circ}$,then the angle of minimum deviation $\delta_m$ is:

$A$ prism of a certain angle deviates the red and blue rays by $8^{\circ}$ and $12^{\circ}$ respectively. Another prism of the same angle deviates the red and blue rays by $10^{\circ}$ and $14^{\circ}$ respectively. The prisms are small-angled and made of different materials. The dispersive powers of the materials of the prisms are in the ratio:
