Assertion : Angle of deviation depends ...

Assertion : Angle of deviation depends on the angle of prism.
Reason : For thin prism, `del = (mu - 1) - A`.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For a thini prism, the relation between angle of deviation, `del`, angle of prism A and refractive index `mu` is
`del = (mu - 1)A`
