Question

A ray of light passing through a prism gets deviated. The angle of deviation depends on the

• A. Angle of the prism
• B. Refractive index of the material
• C. Speed of the incoming ray
• D. Both $\left(1\right)$ and $\left(2\right)$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Both $\left(1\right)$ and $\left(2\right)$

$\begin{array}{c}\text{A ray of light passing through a prism}\\ \text{gets deviated. The angle of deviation}\\ \text{depends on the Angle of the prism}\\ \text{and Refractive index of the material.}\\ \mu =\frac{\sin ({\delta }_{min}+A/2)}{\sin A/2}\\ \text{so option}D\text{is correct.}\end{array}$
