If a thin prism of glass is dipped into water,then the minimum deviation (with respect to air) of light produced by the prism will be: $\left( {_a{\mu _g} = \frac{3}{2} \text{ and } _a{\mu _w} = \frac{4}{3}} \right)$

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{4}$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{5}$

In an experiment for the determination of the refractive index of glass of a prism by an $i - \delta$ plot,it was found that a ray incident at an angle of $35^o$ suffers a deviation of $40^o$ and emerges at an angle of $79^o$. In that case,which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index?
