$A$ ray of light is incident on the first face of an equilateral glass prism at an angle of incidence '$i$'. The emergent ray just grazes along the adjacent face. The refractive index of the prism is $\sqrt{2}$. The value of the angle of incidence at the first face is $(\sin 45^{\circ} = 1/\sqrt{2}, \sin 90^{\circ} = 1)$.

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}(\sqrt{2} \sin 15^{\circ})$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}(\frac{\sin 30^{\circ}}{\sqrt{2}})$
  • C
    $\cos^{-1}(\sqrt{2} \sin 20^{\circ})$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1} \sqrt{2 \sin 15^{\circ}}$

It was found that the refractive index of the material of a certain prism varied as $\mu = 1.5 + 0.004 / \lambda^{2}$,where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light used to measure the refractive index. The same material was then used to construct a thin prism of apex angle $10^{\circ}$. Angles of minimum deviation $\delta_{m}$ of the prism were recorded for the sources with wavelengths $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$,respectively. Then,

$A$ thin prism having refracting angle $10^{\circ}$ is made of glass of refractive index $1.42$. This prism is combined with another thin prism of glass of refractive index $1.7$. This combination produces dispersion without deviation. The refracting angle of the second prism should be....$^{\circ}$
