The angle of prism is A and one of its refracting surface is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence ' 2 ~A ' on the first surface return back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index of the material of the prism is
Options
- A2 ( A 2 )
- B2 tan A
- C2 cos A
- D2 sin A
Correct answer
C. 2 cos A
Step-by-step solution
Given: Angle of Prism = A , I =2 ~A As DE is falling normally on the silvered side AC , aligned & r =90-(90- A ) & r = A aligned Using Snell's law, i r = 2 ~A A = 2 A A A =2 A
