A ray of light incident at an angle of on a prism of refracting angle suffers minimum deviation. Determine the angle of minimum deviation in degrees.

The angle of _____ increases with the increase in the angle of prism.

The angle of deviation depends on the refractive index of the glass.

When a beam of white light passes through a prism it gets

For a given prism, the _____ light deviates most and the red light deviates least.

A ray of light passes through an equilateral glass prism in such a manner that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence and each of these angles is equal to of the angle of the prism. The angle of deviation is

Maximum deviation occurs in a homogeneous prism of refracting angle and having critical angle of its material as when the angle of incidence is -

A light ray incidents normally on one surface of an equilateral prism. The angle of deviation of the light ray is (Refractive index of the material of the prism )

The graph is plotted between the angle of deviation and angle of incidence for a triangular prism is represented by which of the following:

STATEMENT-1 : There exists two angles of incidence for the same deviation (except minimum deviation) by a prism kept in air.
STATEMENT-2 : This is due to principal of reversibility of light

Angle of incident for minimum deviation through the prism will be:
