A prism of refractive index 2 has  angle of prism 300 . One of the refracting surface of prism is silvered. Find the angle of incidence i  for which the ray retraces its path

a
300
b
600
c
450
d
900

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For light to retrace its path, it should fall perpendicularly on silvered side.Then, according to Snell’s law,1×sini=μsin300⇒sini=2×12   ∴i=450
