$A$ prism is made of glass of unknown refractive index. $A$ parallel beam of light is incident on a face of the prism. The angle of minimum deviation is measured to be $40^{\circ}$. What is the refractive index of the material of the prism? The refracting angle of the prism is $60^{\circ}$. If the prism is placed in water (refractive index $1.33$),predict the new angle of minimum deviation of a parallel beam of light.

$A$ prism of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$ and refracting angle $A$ produces a minimum deviation $D_m$. $A$ ray incident on one face at an angle of incidence $i = 45^{\circ}$ undergoes minimum deviation. The values of $A$ and $D_m$ are respectively:

The refracting angle of a glass prism is $30^{\circ}$. $A$ ray is incident on one of the faces and is perpendicular to it. The angle of deviation $\delta$ between the incident ray and the ray that leaves the prism is (Refractive index of glass $= 1.5$) (Given: $\sin(30^{\circ}) = 0.5, \sin(48.6^{\circ}) = 0.75$). (in $^{\circ}$)

The critical angle between an equilateral prism and air is $45^o$. If the incident ray is perpendicular to the refracting surface,then

The angle of incidence for an equilateral prism is $45^{\circ}$. What should be the refractive index of the prism material so that the ray is parallel to the base inside the prism?
