A ray of light suffers minimum deviation when incident on a prism having angle of the prism equal to \(60^{\circ}\). The refractive index of the prism material is \(\sqrt{2}\). The angle of incidence (in degrees) is ______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 45
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \mu=\frac{\sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{A}+\delta_{\mathrm{m}}}{2}\right)}{\sin \left(\frac{\mathrm{A}}{2}\right)}, \text { since } \mathrm{A}=60^{\circ} \quad \therefore \delta \mathrm{m}=30^{\circ} \\ & \delta_{\mathrm{m}}=2 \mathrm{i}-\mathrm{A}[\text { as } \mathrm{i}=\mathrm{e}] \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{i}=45^{\circ}\end{aligned}\)
