The angle of deviation produced by a thin prism when placed in air is $\delta_1$ and that when immersed in water is $\delta_2$. The refractive indices of glass and water are $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ respectively. The ratio $\delta_1 : \delta_2$ is

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

Two equilateral-triangular prisms $P_1$ and $P_2$ are kept with their sides parallel to each other,in vacuum,as shown in the figure. $A$ light ray enters prism $P_1$ at an angle of incidence $\theta$ such that the outgoing ray undergoes minimum deviation in prism $P_2$. If the respective refractive indices of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ and $\sqrt{3}$,then $\theta = \sin^{-1}\left[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{\beta}\right)\right]$,where the value of $\beta$ is:
