If a prism having refractive index sqrt ...

If a prism having refractive index `sqrt 2` has angle of minimum deviation equal to the angle of refraction of the prism, then the angle of refraction of the prism is:

A

`30^(@)`

B

`45^(@)`

C

`60^(@)`

D

`90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Put `A=delta_("min")` and `mu=sqrt(2)`
The relation `mu=(sin((A+delta_("min"))/2))/(sin(A/2))` and solve for A
