JEE Advanced · Physics · 24. Ray Optics

A plane polarized blue light ray is incident on a prism such that there is no reflection from the surface of the prism. The angle of deviation of the emergent ray is δ=60o (see Figure-1). The angle of minimum deviation for red light from the same prism is δmin=30o (see Figure-2). The refractive index of the prism material for blue light is 3. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

  1. A The blue light is polarized in the plane of incidence
  2. B The angle of the prism is 45o
  3. C The refractive index of the material of the prism for red light is 2
  4. D The angle of refraction for blue light in air at the exit plane of the prism is 60o
