A thin prism of refractive index 1.5 when placed in air deviates a light ray by a minimum angle of \( 5^{\circ} \). The angle of minimum deviation when it is immersed in oil of refractive index 1.25 is:
- A \( 2^{\circ} \)
- B \( 4^{\circ} \)
- C \( 5^{\circ} \)
- D \( 2.5^{\circ} \)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \( 2^{\circ} \)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\( \delta_1 = (\mu_p - 1)A \) \( A = \frac{5^{\circ}}{1.5 - 1} = 10^{\circ} \) \( \delta_2 = \left( \frac{\mu_p}{\mu_o} - 1 \right) A \) \( \delta_2 = \left( \frac{1.5}{1.25} - 1 \right) 10^{\circ} = (1.2 - 1) 10^{\circ} = 2^{\circ} \)

- Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
Transition metals form a large number of complexes or coordination compounds in which the metal atoms are bound to a number of anions or neutral molecules. The valence bond theory explain the formation, magnetic behaviour and geometrical shapes while the crystal field theory explains the effect of different crystal fields on the degeneracy of d-orbitals energies of the central metal atom/ion. This provides for the quantitative estimation of orbital separation energies, magnetic moments and spectral and stability parameters.
