Question:

Monochromatic light is incident on a glass prism of angle A. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is μ, a ray incident at an angle θ, on the face AB would get transmitted through the face AC of the prism provided

Options :

  • (a) θ > sin-1[μ sin(A-sin-1(1/μ))]
  • (b) θ < sin-1[μ sin(A-sin-1(1/μ))]
  • (c) θ > cos-1[μ sin(A+sin-1(1/μ))]
  • (d) θ < cos-1[μ sin(A+sin-1(1/μ))]
