The refracting angle of a glass prism is...

The refracting angle of a glass prism is `30^@.` A ray is incident onto one of the faces perpendicular to it. Find the angle `delta` between the incident ray and the ray that leaves the prism. The refractive index of glass is `mu=1.5.`

A

`18^(@)36'`

B

`20^(@)30^(@'`

C

`18^(@)`

D

`22^(@)1'`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For surface `AC(1)/(mu) (sin 30^(@))/(sin e)impliessin e =mu si n30^(@)`
`impliessin e =1.5xx(1)/(2)=0.75`
`implies e=sin^(-1)(0.75)=48^(@)36'`
From figure `delta=e-30^(@)`
`=48^(@)36'-30=18^(@)36'`
