A light ray is incident upon a prism in minimum deviation position and suffers a deviation of 34°.  If the shaded half of the prism is knocked off, the ray will

a
Suffer a deviation of 34°
b
Suffer a deviation of 68°
c
Suffer a deviation of 17°
d
Not come out of the prism

detailed solution

Correct option is C

By formula δ=(n−1)A⇒34=(n−1)A and in  the second position δ′=(n−1)A2∴34δ′=(n−1)A(n−1)A2 or δ′=342=17∘
