A parallel beam of light is incident from air at an angle α on the side PQ of a right angled triangular prism of refractive index n=2 . Light undergoes total internal reflection in the prism at the face PR when α has a minimum value of 45o. The angle θ of the prism is:

  1. A 15o
  2. B 22.5o
  3. C 30o
  4. D 45o
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution
