Questions  

A parallel beam of monochromatic light is incident at one surface of a equilateral prism. Angle of incidence is 55° and angle of emergence is 46°. The angle of minimum deviation will be

a
Less than 41°
b
Equal to 41°
c
More than 41°
d
None of the above

detailed solution

Correct option is A

By the hypothesis, we know thati1+i2=A+δ⇒55o+46o=60o+δ       δ⇒41oBut  δm<δ,   so  δm<41o
