A ray of light is incident normally on one face of a right-angled isosceles prism and then it grazes the hypotenuse. The refractive index of the material of the prism is

A

`1.33`

B

`1.414`

C

`1.5`

D

`1.732`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`mu = (1)/(sin C) = (1)/(sin 45^(@))`
or `mu = sqrt2`
or `mu = 1.414`
