A monochromatic light is incident at a certain angle on an equilateral triangular prism and suffers minimum deviation. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is \(\sqrt 3\) , then the angle of incidence....\(^o\)

  1. A \(90\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(60\)
  4. D \(45\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(i=\theta\) \(r_{1}=r_{2}=\frac{A}{2}=30^{\circ}\) by Snell's law \(1 \times \sin i = \sqrt 3 \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}\) \(i=60\)
