One face of the glass prism is silver polished. A light ray falls at an angle of 45^ on the other face. After reflection it is subsequently reflected from the silvered face and then retraces its path. The refracting angle of prism is 30^ . The refractive index of the prism is
Options
- A3 2
- B2
- C3 2
- D3
Correct answer
D. 3
Step-by-step solution
r=90^ - [180^ - (90^ +30^ ) ] aligned & =90^ - [180^ -120^ ] & =90^ -60^ & =30^ i & =45^ & = i r = 45^ 30^ & = 1 2 1 2 = 2 aligned
