a

If angle of incidence is less than C, then deviation increases if angle of incidence also increased.

b

The maximum angle of deviation during refraction is  π/2Cit will be at angle of incidence C

c

The maximum angle of deviation for all angles of incidence is  π2C, when angle of incidence is slightly greater then C

d

If angle of incidence is greater than C, then angle of deviation decreases if angle of incidence is increased.

answer is A, B, C, D.

Question Image

When angle of incidence is equal to the critical angle, deviation is =π2-C.

When angle of incidence is greater than C, total deviation is π-2i (decreases as i increases), which is greatest for i=C, thus maximum deviation =π-2C.

When angle of incidence is less than C, deviation is

δ=r-i=sin-1(nsini)-i, which increases as i increases.
