Three prisms $1, 2$ and $3$ have the prism angle $A = 60^o$,but their refractive indices are respectively $1.4, 1.5$ and $1.6$. If $\delta_1, \delta_2, \delta_3$ be their respective angles of deviation,then:

  • A
    $\delta_3 > \delta_2 > \delta_1$
  • B
    $\delta_1 > \delta_2 > \delta_3$
  • C
    $\delta_1 = \delta_2 = \delta_3$
  • D
    $\delta_2 > \delta_1 > \delta_3$
