An equilateral prism deviates a ray through `40^@` for two angles of incidence differing by `20^@`. The possible angles of incidences is

A

`30^(@)`

B

`50^(@)`

C

`20^(@)`

D

`60^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`1+e-A=40^(@)`
`i+e=100^(@) (A=60^(@))`
different between I and e is `20^(@)`
So, I and e may be `40^(@)` and `60^(@)`
