    What should be the minimum value of refractive index of the material of the prism for the reflections to take place as shown in the figure:

    A)  1.7   

    B)                                         1.4                        

    C)  1.2                        

    D)         2.7

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From the formula, the minimum refractive index is \[{{\mu }_{m}}=\frac{\sin \,i}{\sin \,r}=\frac{\sin 90{}^\circ }{\sin \,45{}^\circ }\]      \[=\frac{1}{1\text{/}\sqrt{2}}\]      \[=\sqrt{2}=1.414\]      \[\approx 1.4\]
