Ray optics

Question

For a prism kept in air, it is observed that for an angle of incidence 60o, the angle of prism A, The angle of emergence e and the angle of deviation  δ become equal. If refractive index of the prism is 3, angle of prism A is

Moderate
Solution

δ=i+eAδ=i+AA=iSinceδ=e,we concludei=eSinceδ=e,wecanwriter1=r2=A2sin60osinA/2=3A=60o
