JEE Main & Advanced Physics Question Bank Prism Theory and Dispersion of Light

  • question_answer
    The angle of minimum deviation measured with a prism is 30° and the angle of prism is 60°. The refractive index of prism material is                                                                [MP PET 1990, 92]

    A)            \[\sqrt{2}\]                           

    B)            2

    C)            3/2

    D)            4/3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[\mu =\frac{\sin \,\left( \frac{A+{{\delta }_{m}}}{2} \right)}{\sin (A/2)}=\frac{\sin {{45}^{o}}}{\sin {{30}^{o}}}=\sqrt{2}\]
