Application +4 | -1

A prism of refractive index

\sqrt 2

has a refracting angle of

60^\circ .

At what angle a ray must be incident on it so that it suffers a minimum deviation?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

45^\circ

Option A (

45^\circ

) is correct because it is the angle of incidence that results in minimum deviation for the given prism, calculated using the refractive index and refracting angle.
