In a thin prism of glass (refractive index 1.5), which of the following relations between the angle of minimum deviations `delta_(m)` and angle of prism r will be correct?

A

`delta_(m) = r`

B

`delta_(m) = 1.5`

C

`delta_(m) = 2r`

D

`delta_(m) = r//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Angle of minimum deviation in prism,
`delta_(m)=(mu-1)A=(mu-1)(2r)" "(because r=A//2)`
`=(1.5-1)(2r)=0.5xx2r=r`
