An isosceles prism of angle $A=30^{\circ}$ has one of its surfaces silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence $60^{\circ}$ on the other surface retrace their path after reflection from the silvered surface. The refractive index of the prism material is

  • A
    $1.414$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $1.732$
  • D
    $1.866$

Two identical thin isosceles prisms of refracting angle $A$ and refractive index $\mu$ are placed with their bases touching each other. Two parallel rays of light are incident on this system at a distance $h$ from the principal axis as shown. The distance of the point where the rays converge from the prism is:

$A$ prism has a refracting angle '$A$'. The second refracting surface of the prism is silvered. $A$ light ray falling on the first refracting surface with an angle of incidence '$2A$' reaches the second surface and returns back through the same path due to reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index of the material of the prism is:

$A$ ray of light passes through an equilateral prism such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence. If the angle of incidence is $45^o$,the angle of deviation will be.......$^o$.

$A$ thin prism of refracting angle $2^o$ deviates an incident ray through an angle of $1^o$. Find the value of the refractive index of the material of the prism.

For a small angled prism with prism angle $A$,the angle of minimum deviation $(\delta_m)$ varies with the refractive index $(\mu)$ of the prism as shown in the graph.
