The refractive index of a glass is $1.520$ for red light and $1.525$ for blue light. Let $D_1$ and $D_2$ be the angles of minimum deviation for red and blue light,respectively,in a prism of this glass. Then,

  • A
    $D_1 > D_2$
  • B
    $D_1 < D_2$
  • C
    $D_1 = D_2$
  • D
    The relationship between $D_1$ and $D_2$ depends on the prism angle of the prism.

$A$ ray of monochromatic light is passing through an equilateral prism $(ABC)$ as shown in the figure. The refracted ray $(QR)$ is parallel to its base $(BC)$ and the angle of incidence $(i)$ is $50^\circ$. Then the angle of deviation $(\delta)$ is: (in $^\circ$)

$A$ ray is incident at an angle of incidence $i$ on one surface of a small angle prism (with angle of prism $A$) and emerges normally from the opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\mu$,then the angle of incidence is nearly equal to

For a prism of apex angle $45^o$,it is found that the angle of emergence is $45^o$ for grazing incidence. Calculate the refractive index of the prism.
