MCQ
A given ray of light suffers minimum deviation in an equilateral prism $P$. Additional prisms $Q$ and $R$ of identical shape and material are now added to $P$ as shown in the figure. The ray will suffer
Image
  • A
    Greater deviation
  • Same deviation
  • C
    No deviation
  • D
    Total internal reflection

Answer

Correct option: B.
Same deviation
As the prisms $Q$ and $R$ are of the same material and have identical shape they combine to form a slab with parallel faces. Such a slab does not cause any deviation.
