Find the net deviation produced in the incident ray for the optical instrument shown in figure. (Take refractive index of the prism material as 2.)

A

`66^(@)CW`

B

`66^(@)ACW`

C

`54^(@)ACW`

D

`54^(@)CW`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Deviation produced by the mirror is
`delta_(1)=pi-2xx60=60^(@)CW`
Deviation produced by the prism is
`delta_(2)=(1-2)xx6=6^(@)ACW`
So, net deviation, `delta=delta+delta_(2)=(60^(@)-6^(@))CW=54^(@)CW`
