$A$ ray of light is incident normally on the first refracting face of a prism of refracting angle $A$. The ray of light comes out at grazing emergence. If one half of the prism (shaded portion) is knocked off,the same ray will:

  • A
    emerge at an angle of emergence $\sin^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \sec \frac{A}{2} \right)$
  • B
    not emerge out of the prism
  • C
    emerge at an angle of emergence $\sin^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \sec \frac{A}{4} \right)$
  • D
    None of these

One face of the glass prism is silver polished. $A$ light ray falls at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ on the other face. After refraction,it is subsequently reflected from the silvered face and then retraces its path. The refracting angle of the prism is $30^{\circ}$. The refractive index of the prism is

$A$ prism has a refracting angle of $30^\circ$ and a refractive index of $\mu = \sqrt{2}$. One of its faces is silvered. $A$ ray of light incident on the other face retraces its path. What is the angle of incidence in degrees?

Two equilateral-triangular prisms $P_1$ and $P_2$ are kept with their sides parallel to each other,in vacuum,as shown in the figure. $A$ light ray enters prism $P_1$ at an angle of incidence $\theta$ such that the outgoing ray undergoes minimum deviation in prism $P_2$. If the respective refractive indices of $P_1$ and $P_2$ are $\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}$ and $\sqrt{3}$,then $\theta = \sin^{-1}\left[\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{\beta}\right)\right]$,where the value of $\beta$ is:

Define incidence angle,emergence angle,and deviation angle in the context of a prism.

Monochromatic light is incident on a glass prism of angle $A$. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\mu$,a ray,incident at an angle $\theta$ on the face $AB$,would get transmitted through the face $AC$ of the prism provided:
