The angle of minimum deviation if the refracting angle of a prism is \(2θ\), and the refractive index of the material of the prism is \(\cot θ\) is:

  1. A \(\frac{\pi}{2} - 2θ\)
  2. B \(\pi - 2\theta\)
  3. C \(\pi + 2\theta\)
  4. D \(\pi - 4\theta\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\pi - 4\theta\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \mu = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{A + \delta_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} \) \( \cot \theta = \frac{\sin\left(\frac{2\theta + \delta_m}{2}\right)}{\sin\left(\frac{2\theta}{2}\right)} \)…
