MCQ
When light rays are incident on a prism at an angle of $45^o ,$ the minimum deviation is obtained. If refractive index of the material of prism is $\sqrt 2 $, then the angle of prism will be......$^o$
  • A
    $30$
  • B
    $40$
  • C
    $50$
  • $60$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$60$
d
(d) $\frac{{\sin \frac{{A + \delta \,m}}{2}}}{{\sin \frac{A}{2}}} = \mu ,$

But $\frac{{A + {\delta _m}}}{2} = i = {45^o}$

So $\frac{{\sin {{45}^o}}}{{\sin (A/2)}} = \sqrt 2 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} = \sin \frac{A}{2} \Rightarrow A = {60^o}$

Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index $n_1$ surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index $n_2$. The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media $n_1$ and $n_2$ as shown in the figure. All rays with the angle of incidence $i$ less than a particular value $i_m$ are confined in the medium of refractive index $n_1$. The numerical aperture ($NA$) of the structure is defined as $\sin i_m$ - $Image$
