JEE PHYSICS MCQ: RAY OPTICS

1 Medium

1 of 1

Analyzing +4 | -1

Assertion: If the angles of the base of the prism are equal, then in the position of minimum deviation, the refracted ray will pass parallel to the base of prism.

Reason: In the case of minimum deviation, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

Option A (If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion) is correct because in minimum deviation, the angle of incidence equals the angle of emergence, leading to the refracted ray being parallel to the base.
