Questions  

A ray of light is incident normally on one of the face of a prism of angle 30° and refractive index 2. The angle of deviation will be

a
26°
b
c
23°
d
15°

detailed solution

Correct option is D

A=30o,μ=2. As  we  knowA=r1+r2=0+r2⇒A=r2Applying  Snell's  law  for  the  surface  AC1μ=sin  r2sin  e=sin   Asin   e⇒12=sin30osin  e⇒e=45oδ=e−r2=45o−30o=15o
