A monochromatic beam of light is incident at 60o on one face of an equilateral prism of refractive index n and emerges from the opposite face making an angle θ(n) with the normal (see the figure). For n=3 the value of θ is 60o and dθdn=m . The value of m is

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By Snell's law
1sin60= nsinr1sinr1=12r1=30o ...(i)
By differentiating 'w.r.t' n
O=sinr1+ncosr1dr1dn
=12+3 32dr1dn
=dr1dn=13 ...(ii)
By applying Snell's law
nsinr2=1sinθ
nsin60-r1=1sinθ
A+r1+r2
By differentiating 'w.r.t' n
sin(60-r1)-ncos60-r1dr1dn=cosθdθdn
By substituting value of ' r1 ' and dr1dn from (i) and (ii)
dθdn=2
