Questions  

The minimum deviation produced by a hollow prism filled with a certain liquid is found to be 30°. The light ray is also found to be refracted at angle of 30°. The refractive index of the liquid is

a
2
b
3
c
32
d
32

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For minimum angle of deviation for a prismA=2r,   ∴A=60oNow  μ=sin60+302sin602=sin45osin30o=12×21=2
