The angle of deviation produced by a thin prism when placed in air is $\delta_1$ and that when immersed in water is $\delta_2$. The refractive indices of glass and water are $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ respectively. The ratio $\delta_1 : \delta_2$ is

  • A
    $1 : 2$
  • B
    $2 : 1$
  • C
    $1 : 4$
  • D
    $4 : 1$
