A ray of light incident on an equilateral glass prism of refractive index \( \mu = \sqrt{3} \), travels parallel to the base of the prism inside it. What is the angle of incidence for this ray ?

  1. A \( 90^{\circ} \)
  2. B \( 30^{\circ} \)
  3. C \( 45^{\circ} \)
  4. D \( 60^{\circ} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 60^{\circ} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( r_{ 1 } = A/2 \) \( r_{ 1 } = 60^{\circ}/2 = 30^{\circ} \) \( \sin i = \mu \sin r_{ 1 } \) \( \sin i = \sqrt{3} \sin 30^{\circ} = \sqrt{3} \cdot (1/2) = \sqrt{3}/2 \) \( i = 60^{\circ} \)
