A very thin prism deviates a ray of light through `5^(@)` . If the refractive index of the material of the prism is 1.5 , what is the value of the angle of prism?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`delta = (mu - 1) A`
`"Here" " " delta = 5^(@) and mu = 1.5`
Therefore from equation (1) we get,
`5^(@) = (1.5 - 1)A or, A = 10^(@)`
