The refractive index of a prism is 2. The prism can have a maximum refracting angle ofA. `90^(@)`B. `60^(@)`C. `45^(@)`D. `30^(@)`

Answer» Correct Answer - b.
Critical angle `theta_(c)=sin^(-1)((1)/(mu))`
`=sin^(-1)((1)/(2))=30^(@)`
If `A gt 2theta_(c)` , the ray does not emerge from the prism. So, maximum angle can be `60^(@)` .
