Question

Deviation of a ray of light passing through a prism does not depend on options (a) angle of prism (b) wavelength of light (c)size of prism (d)velocity of light in the prism​

Answer 1

Answer:

Size of the prism

Explanation:

The deviation in a prism depends upon:

Refractive index of the prism:

The refractive index depends on the material and the wavelength of the light. The larger the refractive index, the larger the deviation angle.

Angle of the prism:

The larger the prism angle, the larger the deviation angle.

Angle of incidence:

The deviation angle depends on the angle that the beam enters the object, called angle of incidence. The deviation angle first decreases with increasing incidence angle, and then it increases.

It does not depend on the size of the prism
