What is the angle of incidence for an equilateral prism of refractive index

\sqrt 3

so that the ray is parallel to the base inside the prism?

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

60^\circ

Option C (

60^\circ

) is correct because when the ray is parallel to the base, the angle of refraction at the first face equals the angle of incidence at the second face, and for an equilateral prism, this angle is 30 degrees.

\mathrm{\mu }

is the refractive index of the material of the prism, the maximum value of the base angle for which light is totally reflected from the hypotenuse is Statement-A: The minimum distance between an object and its real image formed by a convex lens is

2{f}

.

Statement-B: The distance between an object and its real image is minimum when its magnification is -1. Assertion: We cannot produce a real image by plane or convex mirrors under any circumstances.
Reason: The focal length of a convex mirror is always taken negative. If both the object and image are at infinite distance from a refracting telescope its magnifying power will be equal to
