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

In an experiment for the determination of the refractive index of glass of a prism by an $i - \delta$ plot,it was found that a ray incident at an angle of $35^o$ suffers a deviation of $40^o$ and emerges at an angle of $79^o$. In that case,which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index?

$A$ ray is incident at an angle of incidence $i$ on one surface of a small angle prism (with angle of prism $A$) and emerges normally from the opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\mu$,then the angle of incidence is nearly equal to

$A$ thin prism $P_{1}$ with angle $4^{\circ}$ and made from glass of refractive index $1.54$ is combined with another thin prism $P_{2}$ made from glass of refractive index $1.72$ to produce dispersion without deviation. The angle of prism for $P_{2}$ is (in $^{\circ}$)

The angle of a prism is $A$ and its refractive index is $\cot \frac{A}{2}$. The angle of minimum deviation is:
