For refractin of light through a prism

A

For every angle of deviation there are two angles of incidence

B

The light travelling inside an equilateral prism is necessarily parallel to the base when prism is set for minimum deviation

C

There are two angles of incidence for maximum deviation

D

Angle of minimum deviation will increase if refractive index of prism `(mu_(P))` is increased keeping the refractive index of the outside medium `(mu_(S))` unchanged if `mu_(P) gt mu_(S)`.
