Questions  

For a prism kept in air, it is found that for an angle of incidence 60°, the angle of refraction A, angle of deviation  and angle of emergence e become equal. Then, the refractive index of the prism is

a
1.73
b
1.15
c
1.5
d
1.33

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Given i=60∘ and A=δ=eδ=i+e−A⇒δ=i(∵e=A) μ=sin⁡A+δm2sin⁡A2 Here, angle of deviation is minimum (∵ i =e)μ=sin⁡60∘+60∘2sin⁡(602)=1.73
