Light rays from a source are incident on a glass prism of refractive index $\mu$ and prism angle $\alpha$. At near-normal incidence,the angle of deviation of the emerging rays is:

  • A
    $(\mu - 2)\alpha$
  • B
    $(\mu - 1)\alpha$
  • C
    $(\mu + 1)\alpha$
  • D
    $(\mu + 2)\alpha$

$A$ prism has a refracting angle '$A$'. The second refracting surface of the prism is silvered. $A$ light ray falling on the first refracting surface with an angle of incidence '$2A$' reaches the second surface and returns back through the same path due to reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index of the material of the prism is:

If $r_1$ and $r_2$ are the angles of refraction at the first and second faces of a prism,respectively,then the angle of the prism is:

$A$ glass prism has a right-triangular cross-section $ABC$,with $\angle A=90^{\circ}$. $A$ ray of light parallel to the hypotenuse $BC$ and incident on the side $AB$ emerges grazing the side $AC$. Another ray,again parallel to the hypotenuse $BC$,incident on the side $AC$ suffers total internal reflection at the side $AB$. Which one of the following must be true about the refractive index $\mu$ of the material of the prism?

$A$ prism of refractive index $n_{1}$ and another prism of refractive index $n_{2}$ are stuck together (as shown in the figure). $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ depend on $\lambda$, the wavelength of light, according to the relation:
${n}_{1}=1.2+\frac{10.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}} \text{ and } {n}_{2}=1.45+\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}}$
The wavelength for which rays incident at any angle on the interface $BC$ pass through without bending at that interface will be $....\,nm.$

One of the refractive surfaces of a prism of angle $30^{\circ}$ is silvered. $A$ ray of light incident at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ retraces its path. The refractive index of the material of the prism is:
