For the angle of minimum deviation of a prism to be equal to its refracting angle,the prism must be made of a material whose refractive index is:

  • A
    between $\sqrt{2}$ and $1$
  • B
    between $2$ and $\sqrt{2}$
  • C
    less than $1$
  • D
    greater than $2$

In the given figure,the face $AC$ of the equilateral prism is immersed in a liquid of refractive index $n$. For an incident angle of $60^{\circ}$ at the side $AC$,the refracted light beam just grazes along the face $AC$. The refractive index of the liquid is $n = \frac{\sqrt{x}}{4}$. The value of $x$ is (Given refractive index of glass $= 1.5$)

When white light is passed through a prism, which colour shows the minimum deviation?

$A$ prism of refractive index $n_{1}$ and another prism of refractive index $n_{2}$ are stuck together (as shown in the figure). $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ depend on $\lambda$, the wavelength of light, according to the relation:
${n}_{1}=1.2+\frac{10.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}} \text{ and } {n}_{2}=1.45+\frac{1.8 \times 10^{-14}}{\lambda^{2}}$
The wavelength for which rays incident at any angle on the interface $BC$ pass through without bending at that interface will be $....\,nm.$

$A$ ray of light is incident at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ on the first face of a prism. The angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$ and its second face is silvered. If the light ray inside the prism retraces its path after reflection from the second face, then the refractive index of the material of the prism is
