$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle of incidence '$i$' on one surface of a prism of small angle '$A$' and emerges normally from the other surface. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is '$\mu$',then the angle of incidence is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{A}{2 \mu}$
  • B
    $\frac{A \mu}{2}$
  • C
    $A \mu$
  • D
    $\frac{A}{\mu}$

The refractive index of a glass is $1.520$ for red light and $1.525$ for blue light. Let $D_1$ and $D_2$ be the angles of minimum deviation for red and blue light,respectively,in a prism of this glass. Then,

$A$ ray $OP$ of monochromatic light is incident on the face $AB$ of prism $ABCD$ near vertex $B$ at an incident angle of $60^{\circ}$ (see figure). If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\sqrt{3}$,which of the following is (are) correct?
$(A)$ The ray gets totally internally reflected at face $CD$
$(B)$ The ray comes out through face $AD$
$(C)$ The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is $90^{\circ}$
$(D)$ The angle between the incident ray and the emergent ray is $120^{\circ}$

Three glass prisms $A, B$ and $C$ of the same refractive index are placed in contact with each other as shown in the figure,with no air gap between the prisms. $A$ monochromatic ray of light $OP$ passes through the prism assembly and emerges as $QR$. The conditions of minimum deviation are satisfied in which prisms?
