The angle of deviation through a prism is minimum when
$(A)$ Incident ray and emergent ray are symmetric to the prism

$(C)$ Angle of incidence is equal to that of the angle of emergence
$(D)$ When angle of emergence is double the angle of incidence
Choose the correct answer from the options given below

White light is passed through a prism whose angle is $5^o$. If the refractive indices for rays of red and blue colour are respectively $1.64$ and $1.66$,the angle of deviation between the two colours will be.....$^o$.

$A$ thin prism $P_1$ with angle $4^{\circ}$ made of glass having refractive index $1.54$ is combined with another thin prism $P_2$ made of glass having refractive index $1.72$ to produce dispersion without deviation. The angle of the prism $P_2$ in degrees is:

$A$ prism $(\mu=1.5)$ has a refracting angle of $30^{\circ}$. The deviation of a monochromatic ray incident normally on one of its surfaces will be (given,$\sin 48^{\circ} 36^{\prime}=0.75$):

Assertion: There exist two angles of incidence for the same magnitude of deviation (except for minimum deviation) by a prism kept in air.
Reason: In a prism kept in air,a ray is incident on the first surface and emerges out of the second surface. If another ray is incident on the second surface along the path of the previous emergent ray,then this ray emerges out of the first surface along the path of the previous incident ray. This principle is called the principle of reversibility of light.
