STANDARD Physics Prism MCQ Question
A small angle prism (μ = 1.62) gives a deviation of 4.8°. The angle of prism is (Assume min. deviation)
5°
6.36°
3°
7.74°
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using the formula δ = (μ - 1)A, where δ is the deviation and A is the angle of the prism, we can calculate A. Given δ = 4.8° and μ = 1.62, we find A = 7.74°.
