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

  • question_answer
    In a thin prism of glass (refractive index 1.5),  which of the following relations between the angle of minimum deviations \[{{\delta }_{m}}\] and angle of refraction \[r\] will be correct  [MP PMT 1990]

    A)            \[{{\delta }_{m}}=r\]        

    B)            \[{{\delta }_{m}}=1.5\,r\]

    C)            \[{{\delta }_{m}}=2r\]      

    D)            \[{{\delta }_{m}}=\frac{r}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[{{\delta }_{m}}=(\mu -1)\,(2r)=(1.5-1)\,2r=0.5\times 2r=r\]
