A ray of light is incident on an equilateral glass prism placed on a horizontal table. For minimum deviation which of the following is true ?

Answer»

PQ is horizontal
QR is horizontal
RS is horizontal
Either PQ or RS is horizontal.

Solution :In case of minimum DEVIATION through an EQUILATERAL prism, light ray passes symmetrically. Light ray inside the prism becomes PARALLEL to the base of the prism which is horizontal in given case. Hence QR has to be horizontal for minimum deviation.
