  • For a light ray passing through a prism

    A
    angle of deviation increases when angle of incidence is increased
    B
    angle of deviation decreases when angle of deviation is increased
    C
    When angle of incidence is increased or decreased from a particular value then in both cases angle of deviation increases.
    D
    Angle of deviation is approximately proportional to the refracting angle of prism provided prism is very thin.
