A ray of light incident at an angle θ on a refracting face of a prism emerges from the other face normally. If the angle of the prism is
and the prism is made of a material of refractive index 1.5, the angle of incidence is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Since, deviation

By geometry, angle of refraction by first surface is
. Using snell's law for prism,
