Questions  

A prism (µ: 1.5) has the refracting angle of 30°. The deviation of a monochromatic ray incident normally on its one surface will be (sin 48° 36' = 0.75)

a
18° 36'
b
20° 30'
c
18°
d
22° 1'

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For surface AC1μ=sin30osin e⇒sin e=μsin300⇒sin  e=1.5×12=0.75⇒e=sin−10.75=48o36'From  figure  δ=e−30o=48o36'−30o=18o36'
