Q. The value of refractive index of the prism used is

A

`sqrt(3)`

B

`sqrt(2)`

C

`sqrt(3)//sqrt(2)`

D

`2//sqrt(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`delta=i+e-A`
`delta_(min)=60^(@)` when `i=e`
`therefore60^(@)=2i-A=2(60^(@))-A` `thereforeA=60^(@)`
`thereforemu=(sin((A+delta_(min))/(2)))/(sin((A)/(2)))=(sin((60+60)/(2)))/(sin((60)/(2)))=sqrt(3)`
