Two beams of red and violet colours are made to pass separately through a prism of \(\mathrm{A}=60^{\circ}\). In the minimum deviation position, the angle of refraction inside the prism will be

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(30^{\circ}\) for both the colours

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, Angle of prism, \(A=60^{\circ}\)
For minimum deviation, \(\mathrm{A}=2 \mathrm{r}\) or \(r=\frac{A}{2}=\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}=30^{\circ}\) for both colours.
