In an experiment for determination of refractive index of glass of prism by i - delta plot, it was found that a ray incident at angle 35^(@) , suffers a deviation of 40^(@) and that it emerges at angle 79^(@). In that case which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index?

Answer»

1.5
1.6
1.7
1.8

Solution :`"We KNOW", DELTA = i + e - A`
`or, " " 40^(@) = 35^(@) + 79^(@) - A or, A = 74^(@)`
Now, the minimum value of angle of deviation, `delta_(m) le 40^(@)`
`"In that case", mu le (sin""(A + delta_(m))/(2))/(sin""(A)/(2))`
`or, " " mu le(sin""(74^(@) + 40^(@))/(2))/(sin""(74^(@))/(2))`
`or, " " mu le 1.39`
`therefore " " mu_(max) = 1.5`
