Assertion: If the angles of the base of the prism are equal, then in the position of minimum deviation, the refracted ray will pass parallel to the base of prism.
Reason: In the case of minimum deviation, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergence.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
In case of minimum deviation, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of emergance. In that case refracted ray will pass parallel to the base of the prism, and base angles of the prism are equal.
