Question : 10 of 12
 
Marks: +1, -0
A ray of light passes through a prism of refractive index 2 as shown in the figure. Find: 3

(i) The angle of incidence (∠r2) at face AC.
(ii) The angle of minimum deviation for this prism.
Solution:
(i) Since at point N, the angle of reflection is 90°, then ∠r2 is the critica angle for the glass - air pair of media.
sin∠r2=1μ=12
∠r2=sin−1(12)=45°
(ii) μ=sin(A+δm2)sinA2
Or, 2=sin(60°+δm2)sin60°2
Or, 2=sin(30°+δm2)12
Or, 0.7=sin(30°+δm2)
Or, sin−10.7=30°+δm2
Or, 44.4°=30°+δm2
∴δm=28.8°
