Three glass prisms $A, B$ and $C$ of the same refractive index are placed in contact with each other as shown in the figure,with no air gap between the prisms. $A$ monochromatic ray of light $OP$ passes through the prism assembly and emerges as $QR$. The conditions of minimum deviation are satisfied in which prisms?

  • A
    $A$ and $C$
  • B
    $B$ and $C$
  • C

$A$ ray of light suffers a minimum deviation when incident on an equilateral prism of refractive index $ \sqrt{2} $. The angle of incidence is (in $^{\circ}$)

The angle of deviation for a ray passing through the given prism is $30^o$. If one half of the prism is removed,what will be the new angle of deviation in degrees?

$A$ light ray is incident normally on one surface of an equilateral prism. The angle of deviation of the light ray is (refractive index of the material of the prism $=\sqrt{2}$) (in $^{\circ}$)

From the graph of angle of deviation $\delta$ versus angle of incidence $i$ for an equilateral prism, the refractive index of the material of the prism is:
