The minimum deviation produced by a hollow prism filled with a certain liquid is found to be $30^{\circ}$. The light ray is also found to be refracted at an angle of $30^{\circ}$. Then the refractive index of the liquid is

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{2}$

What is the maximum value of the refractive index of the material of a prism with prism angle $A$ such that light can pass through it?

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?

$A$ light ray is incident on a prism at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ and the refracting angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. The emergent ray makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the incident ray. The refractive index of the prism is ...
