Assertion: There exist two angles of incidence for the same magnitude of deviation (except for minimum deviation) by a prism kept in air.
Reason: In a prism kept in air,a ray is incident on the first surface and emerges out of the second surface. If another ray is incident on the second surface along the path of the previous emergent ray,then this ray emerges out of the first surface along the path of the previous incident ray. This principle is called the principle of reversibility of light.

- AIf both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- BIf both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
- CIf the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
- DIf both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

When white light is passed through a prism, which colour shows the minimum deviation?
Easy
View SolutionThe angle of a prism is $A$. One of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence $2A$ on the first surface return back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index $\mu$ of the prism is
