A plot of angle of deviation (δ) versus angle of incidence (i) for a triangular prism is shown below. The angle of incidence for which the light ray travels parallel to the base is

a
30o
b
60o
c
45o
d
Data in sufficient

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For light to travel parallel to the base of prism, it should be a minimum deviation condition. For minimum deviation of δ = 400 from graph, i = e = 450.
