JEE Advanced · Physics · 24. Ray Optics

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

  1. A \(30^{\circ}\) for both the colours
  2. B greater for the violet colour
  3. C greater for the red colour
  4. D equal but not \(30^{\circ}\) for both the colours
Verified Solution

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).
