A ray of light makes normal incidence on the diagonal face of a right angled prism as shown in figure. If `theta=37^@,` then the angle of deviation after second step (from `AB`) is `(sin 37^@=3//5)`

A

`53^@`

B

`74^@`

C

`106^@`

D

`90^@`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`i_1=0^@`
`r_2=90^@-theta=53^@`
`theta_C=sin^-1(1/mu)=37^@`
Since, `r_2gttheta_C, T//R` will take place on the face AB
`delta=delta_(AC)+delta_(AB)`
`=0+180^@-2r_2`
`=180^@-2xx53^@=74^@`
