The angle of a prism is $A$. One of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence $2A$ on the first surface return back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index $\mu$ of the prism is

  • A
    $2\,\sin\,A$
  • B
    $2\,\cos\,A$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}\,\cos\,A$
  • D
    $\tan\,A$

$A$ parallel beam of monochromatic light is incident at one surface of an equilateral prism. The angle of incidence is $55^o$ and the angle of emergence is $46^o$. The angle of minimum deviation will be:

By placing the prism in the minimum deviation position,the images of the spectrum:

$A$ prism of a certain angle deviates the red and blue rays by $8^{\circ}$ and $12^{\circ}$ respectively. Another prism of the same angle deviates the red and blue rays by $10^{\circ}$ and $14^{\circ}$ respectively. The prisms are small-angled and made of different materials. The dispersive powers of the materials of the prisms are in the ratio:

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
