Detailed Solution
The ray of light is refracted at the plane surface. However, since the ray is travelling from a denser to a rarer medium, for an angle of incidence (i) greater then the critical angle (c) the ray will be totally internally reflected.For ic, deviation d=π−2iδ decreases linearly with i.δ2 =π−2c=2δ1
