Three prisms of crown glass,each having a prism angle of $9^o$,and two prisms of flint glass are used to make a direct vision spectroscope. What will be the angle of the flint glass prisms in degrees if the refractive index $\mu$ for flint glass is $1.60$ and $\mu$ for crown glass is $1.53$ (in $^o$)?

The angle of a prism is $60^{\circ}$. When light is incident at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ on the prism,the angle of emergence is $40^{\circ}$. The angle of incidence $i$ for which the light ray will deviate the least is such that

$A$ ray of light passes through an equilateral prism such that the angle of incidence $(i)$ is equal to the angle of emergence $(e)$. The angle of emergence is equal to $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$ of the angle of the prism. The angle of deviation is: (in $^{\circ}$)

Given below are two statements :
