A ray of light suffers minimum deviation when incident on a prism having angle of the prism equal to 60 . The refractive index of the prism material is 2. The angle of incidence (in degrees) is
Answer
45
Solution
At minimum deviation: r1 = r2 = A2 = 30
Snell's law at the first face: i = r
= 2 30 = 1 2
i = 45
Answer: 45
