" Calculate the deviation produced by a prism of angle "4%" ,given that the refractive index of the material of the prism is "sqrt(2)

A ray of light is incident at an angle of 50^(@) on one face of an equilateral prism . What is the angle ,which the emergent ray makes with the second face of the prism , if the deviation produced by the prism is 42^(@) ?

The refracting angle of a prism is 60^(@) . It is found that for two different angles of incidence , the deviation produced by the prism is 40^(@) . If the difference between the two angle of incidence is 10^(@) . What are their values ?

Assertion If angle of incidence in case of a prism is gradually increased, then deviation produced by prism will first decrease, then increase. Reason At minimum deviation, r_(1) =A/2 .

The refractive index of the material of a prism is 1.5 and its refracting angle is 6^o . Find the deviation produced by the prism for a small angle of incidence.
