The refracting angle of a prism is $A$ and the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\cot (A / 2)$. The angle of minimum deviation of the prism is

  • A
    $\pi+2 A$
  • B
    $\pi-2 A$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2}+A$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{2}-A$

The angle of deviation $\delta$ produced by a prism of refractive index $\mu$ and small refracting angle $A$ is given by:

$A$ graph is plotted between angle of deviation $(\delta)$ and angle of incidence $(i)$ for a prism. The nearly correct graph is

$A$ ray of light incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism having refractive index $\sqrt{2}$, produces the emergent ray which just grazes along the adjacent face. The value of angle of incidence is $(\sin 90^{\circ} = 1, \sin 30^{\circ} = 0.5, \sin 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2})$.

$A$ prism with refractive index $\mu = 1.5$ has a prism angle of $30^\circ$. If a ray is incident normally on one surface,calculate its deviation. (Given: $\sin(48^\circ 36') = 0.75$)
