In the position of minimum deviation when a ray of yellow light passes through the prism then its angle of incidence is

When white light passes through prism, the angle of deviation is

Assertion : If the angles of the base of the prism are equal, then in the position of minimum deviation, the refracted ray will pass parallel to the base of prism. Reason : In the case of minimum deviation, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.

A ray of light suffers minimum deviation while passing through a prism of refracting angle A . If the angle of incidence i = Refractive angle and n = sqrt3 , find the angle of the prism .

The deviation delta of a ray on passing through a prism of small angle A is.

The angle of incidence for a ray of light passing through an equilateral glass prism is equal to its angle of emergence. Also, the angle of emergence is 3//4 times the angle of prism. Calculate the angle of deviation and refractive index of prism's material.

An equilateral prism is placed on the prism table of a spectrometer in the position of minimum deviation. If the angle of incidence is 60º, the angle of deviation of the ray is :
