A ray of light is incident at an angle of 30o on a glass prism of refractive index 1.5. Calculate the angle through which the ray is minimally deviated in the prism. (The medium surrounding the prism is air)

A.

10.5o

B.

19.5o

C.

21.1o

D.

38.9o

E.

40.5o

Correct answer is A

n = sinisinr

sin r = 30on

sin r = 0.51.5

sin r = 0.3333

r = 19.5o; Deviation 30 - 19.5 = 10.5o
