An isosceles prism of angle $A=30^{\circ}$ has one of its surfaces silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence $60^{\circ}$ on the other surface retrace their path after reflection from the silvered surface. The refractive index of the prism material is

  • A
    $1.414$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $1.732$
  • D
    $1.866$

$A$ thin prism of angle $15^o$ made of glass of refractive index $\mu_1 = 1.5$ is combined with another prism of glass of refractive index $\mu_2 = 1.75$. The combination of the prisms produces dispersion without deviation. The angle of the second prism should be ......$^o$

$A$ monochromatic light is incident from air on a refracting surface of a prism of angle $A = 75^{\circ}$ and refractive index $n_0 = \sqrt{3}$. The other refracting surface of the prism is coated by a thin film of material of refractive index $n$ as shown in the figure. The light suffers total internal reflection at the coated prism surface for an incidence angle of $\theta \leq 60^{\circ}$. The value of $n^2$ is:
