A ray of light is incident on an equilateral prism made of flint glass (refractive index 1.6) placed in air.

Options

  1. AThe ray suffers a minimum deviation if it is incident at angle 53∘53^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}}.
  2. BThe minimum angle of deviation suffered by the ray is 46∘46^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}}.
  3. CIf prism is immersed in water (μ=43)\left(\mu=\frac{4}{3}\right) the minimum deviation produced by the prism is 14014^0.
  4. DThe minimum deviation produced by the prism is 23.6∘23.6^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}} if it is immersed in a liquid of refractive index μ=1.2\mu=1.2

Correct answer

D. The minimum deviation produced by the prism is 23.6∘23.6^{{}^{{}^{\circ}}} if it is immersed in a liquid of refractive index μ=1.2\mu=1.2
