An equiangular glass prism of refractive index \(1.6\) is kept fully immersed in water of refractive index \(4 / 3\), for a certain ray of monochromatic light. What is the closest value for the angle of minimum deviation of the light ray in this setup? (Take, \(\sin 37^{\circ}=0.6\) )
- A \(10^{\circ}\)
- B \(14^{\circ}\)
- C \(18^{\circ}\)
- D \(22^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(14^{\circ}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For equiangular glass prism, \(A=60^{\circ}\) Refractive index of prism, \(\mu_{p}=1.6\) Refractive index of water, \(\mu_{v}=\frac{4}{3}\) We know that, \(=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{A+\delta_{m}}{2}\right)}{\sin A / 2}\)…
