A prism having refractive index `sqrt2` and refractive angle `30^@` has one of the refractive surfaces polished. A beam of light incident on the other surfaces will trace its path if the angle of incidence is

A

`0^@`

B

`30^@`

C

`45^@`

D

`60^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`r_2=0^@, and r_1=A=30^@`
Applying `mu=(sini_1)/(sinr_2)`
`sqrt2=sini_1/sin 30^@`
Solving, we get `i_1=45^@`
