An equilateral prism $P$ produces a minimum deviation for a given light ray. Additional prisms $Q$ and $R$ of the same shape and material are placed as shown in the figure. The ray will experience:

  • A
    More deviation
  • B
    Same deviation
  • C
    No deviation
  • D
    Total internal reflection

Consider two equivalent,triangular hollow prisms $A$ and $B$ made of thin glass plates and arranged with negligible spacing as shown in the figure. $A$ beam of white light is incident on prism $A$ from the left. Given that the refractive index of water is inversely related to temperature,the beam to the right of prism $B$ would not appear white,if

Which colour has more speed in a glass prism? Blue or yellow?

$A$ light ray is incident on an equilateral glass prism placed on a horizontal table. Which of the following is true for the condition of minimum deviation?

$A$ thin prism of glass is placed in air and water successively. If $_a\mu _g = 3/2$ and $_a\mu _w = 4/3$,then the ratio of the deviation produced by the prism for a small angle of incidence when placed in air and water is

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,
