Answer:
Correct Answer: 63. (b)
Solution:
- (b) Deviation $=$ zero
So, $\delta=\delta_1+\delta_2=0$
$\Rightarrow(\mu_1-1) A_1+(\mu_2-1) A_2=0$
$\Rightarrow A_2(1.75-1)=-(1.5-1) 15^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow A_2=-\frac{0.5}{0.75} \times 15^{\circ}$
or $A_2=-10^{\circ}$.
Negative sign shows that the second prism is inverted with respect to the first.
