A given ray of light suffers minimum deviation in an equilateral prism P. Additional prism Q and R of identical shape and of the same material as P are now added as shown in the figure. The ray will now suffer

A

Greater deviation

B

Same deviation

C

No deviation

D

Total internal reflection

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Since, Q and R are of the same material and have identical shape they combine to form a slab with parallel faces.
Such slabs do not cause any deviation.
