A rays of light is incident on a 60o prism at the minimum deviation position. The angle of refraction at the first face (i.e., incident face) of the prism is
- Azero
- B30o
- C45o
- D60o
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Angle of prism, A = r1 + r2
For minimum deviation r1 = r2 = r
A = 2r
Given, A = 60°
Hence, r = = = 30o
