JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 9. Ray optics and optical instruments

A ray of light is incident at an angle of \(60^o\) on one face of a prism of angle \(30^o\) . The emergent ray of light makes an angle of \(30^o\)  with incident ray. The angle made by the emergent ray with second face of prism will be....\(^o\)

  1. A \(30\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(90\)
  4. D \(45\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(90\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Augle of prism, \(A=30^o,\,\, i=60^o,\) angle of deviation, \(\delta=30^o\) Using formula, \(\delta=i+e-A\) \(\Rightarrow e=\delta+A-i\) \(=30^o+30^o-60^o=0^o\) Emergent ray will be perpendicular to the face So it will make angle \(90^o\) with the force through which it emerges.
