Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Ans.
(i)
Sol.


45 º – β > θ c is common solution for T/R at the both opposite surface
45º – θ C > b
sin (45– θ C ) > sin β
snell law sin α = 1.55 sin β
[cos θ C – sin θ C ] > sin α
> sin α
> sin α
(ii)
Sol. angle between the incoming and leaving the prism is 180º
(iii)
Sol.
