A monochromatic light is incident at a certain angle on an equilateral triangular prism and suffers minimum deviation. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is 3 , then the angle of incidence is :
Options
- A90^
- B30^
- C60^
- D45^
Correct answer
C. 60^
Step-by-step solution
For minimum deviation: r ₁= r ₂= A 2 =30^ by Snell's law ₁ i = ₂ r 1 i= 3 1 2 = 3 2 i=60
