The angle of incidence for a ray of light at a refracting surface of a prism is 45^@. The angle of prism is 60^@. If the ray suffers minimum deviation through the prism, the angle of minimum deviation and refractive index of the material of the prism respectively, are

Answer»

`30^@,sqrt2`
`45^@,sqrt2`
`30^@,(1)/(sqrt2)`
`45^@,(1)/(sqrt2)`

Solution :i+e=A+`delta`
`45^@+45^@=60^@+delta_m [because i=eimplies delta=delta_m]`
`THEREFORE delta_m=30^@`

`mu=(sin((delta_m+A)/(2)))/(sin""A/2)`
`=(sin((60^@+30^@)/(2)))/(sin((60^@)/(2)))`
`=(sin45^@)/(sin 30^@)`
`=(1)/(sqrt2)xx2/1`
`=sqrt2`
