In an experiment for the determination of the refractive index of glass of a prism by an $i - \delta$ plot,it was found that a ray incident at an angle of $35^o$ suffers a deviation of $40^o$ and emerges at an angle of $79^o$. In that case,which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index?

  • A
    $1.7$
  • B
    $1.8$
  • C
    $1.5$
  • D
    $1.6$
