The glass prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are to be combined together to produce dispersion without deviation. The angles of the prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ are selected as $4^{\circ}$ and $3^{\circ}$ respectively. If the refractive index of prism $P_{1}$ is $1.54,$ then that of $P_{2}$ will be

  • A
    $1.48$
  • B
    $1.58$
  • C
    $1.62$
  • D
    $1.72$

$A$ prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. $A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be $40^{\circ}$. What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is $60^{\circ}$. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index $1.33$),predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light.
