An equilateral prism is placed on a horizontal surface. $A$ ray $PQ$ is incident onto it. For minimum deviation:

  • A
    $PQ$ is horizontal
  • B
    $QR$ is horizontal
  • C
    $RS$ is horizontal
  • D
    Any one will be horizontal

White light is passed through a prism of angle $5^{\circ}$. If the refractive indices for red and blue colors are $1.641$ and $1.659$ respectively,the angular dispersion between them will be..... (in $^{\circ}$)

The angle of deviation produced by a thin prism when placed in air is $\delta_1$ and that when immersed in water is $\delta_2$. The refractive indices of glass and water are $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ respectively. The ratio $\delta_1 : \delta_2$ is
