    A given ray of light suffers minimum deviation in an equilateral prism P. Additional prisms Q and R of identical shape and material are now added to P, as shown in the figure. The ray will suffer:

    A)  same deviation

    B)  greater deviation

    C)  total internal reflection

    D)  no deviation

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Since prism P is placed in position of minimum deviation, therefore refracted rays becomes parallel to the base of the prism, again by adding two prism R and Q of same material as shown in figure, the deviation produced by Q and R are equal and opposite in sense, therefore final deviation is same as due to prism P.
