Two beams of red and violet colours are made to pass separately through a prism (angle of the prism is \(60^{\circ}\) ). In the position of minimum deviation, the angle of refraction will be
- A \(30^{\circ}\) for both the colours
- B greater for the violet colour
- C greater for the red colour
- D equal but not \(30^{\circ}\) for both the colours
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(30^{\circ}\) for both the colours
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
At minimum deviation \(\left(\delta=\delta_m\right)\) :
\(
r_1=r_2=\frac{A}{2}=\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}=30^{\circ}
\)
(For both colours)
\(\therefore\) correct answer is (a).
\(
r_1=r_2=\frac{A}{2}=\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}=30^{\circ}
\)
(For both colours)
\(\therefore\) correct answer is (a).

- Two particles of mass \(m\) each are tied at the ends of a light string of length \(2 a\). The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance \(a\) from the centre \(P\) (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force \(F\). As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface.
