If the angle of minimum deviation is equal to angle of a prism for an equilateral prism, then the speed of light inside the prism is .....
Options
- A3 10^8 ~ms ⁻¹
- B2 3 10^8 ~ms ⁻¹
- C3 10^8 ~ms ⁻¹
- D3 2 10^8 ~ms ⁻¹
Correct answer
C. 3 10^8 ~ms ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Given, _m=A=60^ We know that, = ( A+ _m 2 ) A 2 = ( 60^ +60^ 2 ) 60^ 2 = 60^ 30^ = 3 / 2 1 / 2 = 3 If v be the speed light inside the prism, then = c v v= c = 3 10^8 3 = 3 10^8 ~m / s
