For a prism of prism angle θ=60°, the refractive indices of the left half and the right half are, respectively, n1 and n2n2n1 as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence i is chosen such that the incident light rays will have minimum deviation if n1=n2=n=1.5. For the case of unequal refractive indices, n1=n and n2=n+n (where n<<n), the angle of emergence e=i+e. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

  1. A The value of e (in radians) is greater than that of n.
  2. B e is proportional to n.
  3. C e lies between 2.0 and 3.0 milliradian, if n=2.8×10-3.
  4. D e lies between 1.0 and 1.6 milliradians, if n=2.8×10-3
