and refractive index 2. The angle of deviation of the ray is …… degrees.

(1997, 2M)

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 16. 15

Solution:

  1. Ray falls normally on the face AB. Therefore, it will pass undeviated through AB.

r2=9060=30

μ=2=sini2sinr2i2=45

Deviation =i2r2=4530=15

(Deviation at face AC only)
