Questions  

An equilateral prism ABC is placed in air with its base side BC lying horizontally along x-axis. A light ray 3z+x=10  is incident at a point P on face AB of the prism.

If  μ for the prism is 32 , then net deviation of the ray as it emerges out of the prism is

a
60o
b
30o
c
90o
d
180o

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For μ=32,  total internal reflection takes place at AC. From geometry, it in clear that ray in perpendicular incident on BC, so net deviation = 180o-120o=60o,  only at AC.
