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

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 4$
  • D
    $4 : 1$

An isosceles glass prism with base angles $40^{\circ}$ is clamped over a tray of water in a position such that the base is just dipped in water. $A$ ray of light incident normally on the inclined face suffers total internal reflection at the base. If the refractive index of water is $1.33$,then the condition imposed on the refractive index $\mu$ of the glass is

$A$ flint glass prism and a crown glass prism are to be combined in such a way that the deviation of the mean ray is zero. The refractive indices of flint and crown glasses for the mean ray are $1.620$ and $1.518$ respectively. If the refracting angle of the flint prism is $6.0^{\circ}$,what would be the refracting angle of the crown prism (in $^{\circ}$)?
