For a \(30^{\circ}\) prism when a ray of light is incident at an angle \(60^{\circ}\) on one of its faces, the emergent ray passes normal to the other surface. Then the refractive index of the prism is:
- A \(\sqrt{3}\)
- B \(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)
- C 1.5
- D 1.33
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\sqrt{3}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given the prism angle \(A = 30^{\circ}\). The angle of incidence \(i = 60^{\circ}\). The emergent ray passes normal to the other surface, which means the angle of emergence \(e = 0^{\circ}\). From the geometry of the prism, the angle of refraction at the first surface \(r_1\)…
