The length of deviation for a glass prism is equal to its refracting angle. The refractive index of glass is 1.5. Then the angle of prism is

Options

  1. A2cos⁡−1(3/4)2 \cos ^{-1}(3 / 4)
  2. Bsin⁡−1(3/4)\sin ^{-1}(3 / 4)
  3. C2sin⁡−1(3/2)2 \sin ^{-1}(3 / 2)
  4. Dcos⁡−1(3/2)\cos ^{-1}(3 / 2)

Correct answer

A. 2cos⁡−1(3/4)2 \cos ^{-1}(3 / 4)

Step-by-step solution

Here, δm=A,μ=1.5\delta_m=A, \mu=1.5 \therefore \mu=\frac{\sin \frac{\left(A+\delta_m\right)}{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}}=\frac{\sin \frac{(A+A)}{2}}{\sin \frac{A}{2}} =\frac{2 \sin \left(\frac{A}{2}\right) \cos \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)}{\sin \left(\frac{A}{2}\right)} \frac{3}{2}=2 \cos \frac{A}{2} \quad(∵μ=1.5=32)\left(\because \mu=1.5=\frac{3}{2}\right)\cos \frac{A}{2}=\frac{3}{4} \frac{A}{2}=\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)ororA=2 \cos ^{-1}(34)\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)
