For a small angled prism, angle of prism...

For a small angled prism, angle of prism `A` of minimum deviation`(delta)` varies with the refractive index of the prism as shown in the graph

A

Point P corresponds to `mu=1//2`

B

Slope of the line `PQ=A//2`

C

Slope=A

D

None of the above statements is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`delta=(mu-1)Aimpliesy=(x-1)A=xA-A`
Comparing with `y=mx+C`
Slope: `m=A`
