For a thin prism,$\delta_1$ is the angle of deviation produced when the prism is placed in air. When the prism is immersed in water,the angle of deviation produced is $\delta_2$. Given ${ }_{a} \mu_{g}=\frac{3}{2}$ and ${ }_{a} \mu_{w}=\frac{4}{3}$. The ratio $\delta_2: \delta_1$ is

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $1: 4$
  • C
    $1: 8$
  • D
    $4: 1$

The refracting angle of a prism is $A,$ and the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\cot(A/2).$ The angle of minimum deviation is:

$A$ ray of light is incident on the first face of an equilateral glass prism at an angle of incidence '$i$'. The emergent ray just grazes along the adjacent face. The refractive index of the prism is $\sqrt{2}$. The value of the angle of incidence at the first face is $(\sin 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2}, \sin 90^{\circ} = 1)$.

If the angle of minimum deviation produced by an equilateral prism is equal to the angle of the prism,then the refractive index of the material of the prism is nearly

Find the value of the angle of emergence from the prism. The refractive index of the glass is $\sqrt{3}$. (in $^{\circ}$)
