Question

The angle of prism is `6^circ` and its refractive index for green light is 1.5. For a green ray passes through it the deviation  will be :


Options:
A .  `30^circ`
B .  `25^circ`
C .  `12^circ`
D .  `3^circ`
Answer: Option D

For small angled prism -   `delta m = (mu - 1)A`

where  `delta m ` = deviation of light in prism,

`mu` = refractive index = 1.5

A = angle of prism = `6^circ`

Therefore , `delta m` = (1.5 - 1) x `6^circ`

                                  = 0.5 x `6^circ =   3^circ`
