The refractive index of the material of a small angled prism is 1.6 . If the angle of minimum deviation is \(4.2^{\circ}\), the angle of the prism is

  1. A \(4.2^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(7^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(4.8^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(9^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mu=1.6, \delta \mathrm{~m}=4.2^{\circ}\) For small angled prism, \(\delta=(\mu-1) \mathrm{A}\) \(\Rightarrow 4.2=(1.6-1) A\) \(\therefore \quad A=7^{\circ}\)
