Minimum deviation is observed with a prism having angle of prism $A$,angle of deviation $\delta$,angle of incidence $i$,and angle of emergence $e$. We then have generally

  • A
    $i > e$
  • B
    $i < e$
  • C
    $i = e$
  • D
    $i = e = \delta$

Find the value of the angle of emergence from the prism. The refractive index of the glass is $\sqrt{3}$. (in $^{\circ}$)

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?

The refracting angle of a glass prism is $30^{\circ}$. $A$ ray is incident on one of the faces and is perpendicular to it. The angle of deviation $\delta$ between the incident ray and the ray that leaves the prism is (Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$) (Given: $\sin(30^{\circ}) = 0.5, \sin(48.6^{\circ}) = 0.75$). (in $^{\circ}$)
