An isosceles prism of angle 120degree has a refractive index 1.44. Two parallel monochromatic rays enter the prism parallel to each other in air as shown. The rays emerge from the opposite faces

A

Are parallel to each other

B

Air diverging

C

Make an angle `2 sin^(-1)(0.72)` with each other

D

Make an angle `2{sin^(-1)(0.72)-30^(@)}` with each other

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

At point `A.(sin 30^(@))/(sin r)=(1)/(1.44)`
`impliesr=sin^(-1)(0.72)`also`/_BAD=180^(@)-/_r`
In rectangle `ABCD,/_A+/_B+/_C+/_D=360^(@)`
`implies(180^(@)-r)+60^(@)+(180^(@)-r)+theta=360`
`impliestheta=2[sin^(-1)(0.72)-30^(@)]`
