For a small angled prism, angle of prism `A` of minimum deviation`(delta)` varies with the refractive index of the prism as shown in the graph

A

Point P corresponds to n = 1

B

Slope of the line PQ = A/2

C

Slope = A

D

None of the above statements is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C
`delta = A (n - 1)`
at `delta = 0 , A (n - 1) = 0 rArr n = 1.`
