If the angle of a prism is `60^(@)` and angle of minimum deviation is `40^(@)` , then the angle of refraction will be-

A

`4^(@)`

B

`30^(@)`

C

`20^(@)`

D

`3^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When angle of deviation is minimum, the angle of refraction becomes `r = (A)/(2)`.
`therefore " " r = (60^(@))/(2) = 30^(@)`
