A ray of light passes through equilateral prism such that the angle of incidence is equal to angle of emergence and each of these angles is equal to \(\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{\mathrm{th}}\) the angle of prism. The angle of deviation is

  1. A \(35^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(40^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(20^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(30^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(30^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = 60^{\circ}\) \(i = e = \frac{3}{4} A = \frac{3}{4} \times 60^{\circ} = 45^{\circ}\)
