There is a prism of refractive index 1. and prism angle 2 Find the minimum deviation caused by this prism.
Answers
Let δm be the angle of minimum deviation A=δm
A=δm
μ=sin(2A)sin2(A+δm)
1.5=sin(2A)sin(2A+A)
1.5=sin(2A)sin2(2A)=sin(2A)2sin2Acos2A
1.5=2cos2A
0.75=cos2A
2A=cos−1
There is a prism of refractive index 1.5 and prism angle is 2°.
we have to find the minimum deviation caused by this prism..
solution : for prism of angle A,
minimum deviation is given by, δ = (μ - 1)A
here μ = 1.5 , A = 2°
so, minimum deviation = (1.5 - 1) × 2° = 1°
Therefore the minimum deviation caused by this prism is 1° i.e., correct option is (1).
