Assertion `:` If the angles of the base of the prism are equal, then in the position of minimum deviation, the refracted ray will pass parallel to the base of prism.
Reason `:` In the case of minimum deviation, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In case of minimum deviation of a prism `angle i = angle e so angle r _(2) = angle r _(1)`
