MCQ
prism can produce a minimum deviation $\delta$ in a light beam. If three such prisms are combined, the minimum deviation that can be produced in this beam is:
  • A
    $0$
  • $\delta$
  • C
    $2\delta$
  • D
    $3\delta$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\delta$
Explanation:
In combination (refractive angles of prisms reversed with respect to each other), the deviations through two prisms cancel out each other and the net deviation is due to the third prism only.
