Two beams of red and violet colours are ...

Two beams of red and violet colours are made to pass separately through a prism of `A=60^(@)` In the minimum deviation position, the angle of refraction inside the prism will be

A

greater for red colour

B

equal but not `30^(@)` for both the colours

C

greater for violet colour

D

`30^(@)` for both the colours

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Here
Angle of prism, `A=60^(@)`
For minimum deviation
Angle of refraction, `r=(A)/(2)=(60^(@))/(2)=30^(@)` for both the colours
