Consider following statements for refraction of light through prism, when angle of deviation is minimum. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A, B and E Only
  2. B, C and D Only
  3. B, D and E Only
  4. A, C and D Only

Answer

(4) A, C and D Only

Solution

At minimum deviation the ray passes symmetrically through the prism:

i = e and r1 = r2 = r, with r1 + r2 = A

r = A2

A. Because r1 = r2, the refracted ray inside makes equal angles with the two faces, i.e. it runs parallel to the base. Correct.

B. = ( A + m2 ) ( A2 ); for the same material a larger prism angle A gives a larger m (for a thin prism m = ( - 1)A). Incorrect.

C. i = e at minimum deviation. Correct.

D. In the –i curve every deviation greater than m is produced by two angles of incidence (i and e interchange by reversibility of light); only m occurs for a single angle (i = e). Correct.

E. r = A2, i.e. the angle of refraction is half the prism angle, not double. Incorrect.

A, C and D only

Two light beams fall on a transparent material block at point 1 and 2 with angle 1 and 2, respectively, as shown in figure. After refraction, the beams intersect at point 3 which is exactly on the interface at other end of the block. Given : the distance between 1 and 2, d = 4 3 cm and 1 = 2 = -1 ( n22n1 ), where refractive index of the block n2 > refractive index of the outside medium n1, then the thickness of the block is cm.
