An equilateral prism ABC is placed in air with its base side BC lying horizontally along x-axis. A light ray is incident at a point P on face AB of the prism.
If the face BC is silvered then net deviation of the finally emerging ray with respect to the incident ray on prism is ( of the prism is )
Light ray incident normally on the face AB and falls an angle more than critical angle on AC.When BC in silvered, the light ray reverses its path after reflection at BC normally So, finally it traverses the path all the way back.
