A ray of light incident at a certain angle on a prism having a refracting angle 53° suffers minimum deviation. If the angle of minimum deviation is 41°, what is the angle of incidence?pls ans asap dont spam!otherwise reported

Answer»

Conditions for MINIMUM DEVIATION:

  • angle of INCIDENCE(i) = angle of emergence(e)
  • R1 = r2 = A/2
  • A = refracting angle.
  • \rm \delta_{min} = minimum \: deviation

\boxed{\bf \delta_{min} = 2i-A}

Solution:

\implies\sf \delta_{min} = 2i-A

\implies\sf 41\degree = 2i-53\degree

\implies\sf 2i = 41\degree + 53\degree

\implies\sf i = \dfrac{94\degree}{2} = 47\degree

Angle of incidence is 47°
