MCQ
Minimum deviation is observed with a prism having angle of prism $A$, angle of deviation $\delta$, angle of incidence $i$ and angle of emergence e. We then have generally
- A$i>e$
- B$i<\mathrm{e}$
- ✓$i=e$
- D$i=e=\delta$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$i=e$
In minimum deviation condition $\angle i=\angle e, \angle r_1=\angle r_2$
