If the refractive index of material of a prism is `sqrt3`, then angle of minimum diviation of the prism, which is equilateral is

A

`30^(@)`

B

`45^(@)`

C

`60^(@)`

D

`75^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
` n = (sin( (A+ delta_(m))/(2) ) )/(sin (A//2)) rArr sqrt(3) = ( sin ( (60 + delta_(m))/(2) ) )/(sin 30^(@)) `
`rArr delta_(m) = 60^(@)`.
