Question

A ray of light is incident on an equilateral prism in such a way that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence and each is equal to 3/4 of the prism angle. The angle of deviation for the ray of light is

A
45
B
30
C
39
D
20
Solution
Verified by Toppr

As angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence the prism is set in minimum deviation position

δmin=ii+ieA=34(60+60)60=30o.
