Question
The exit surface of a prism with refractive index $n$ is coated with a material having refractive index $\frac{n}{2}$. When this prism is set for minimum angle of deviation it exactly meets the condition of critical angle. The prism angle is
Options
A.$60^{\circ}$
B.$15^{\circ}$
C.$30^{\circ}$
D.$45^{\circ}$
Solution
$i = e\& r = A/2$ for minimum deviation
For TIR ; $r = \theta_{C}$
$${Sinr = Sin\theta_{C} }{Sinr = \frac{n/2}{n} }{Sinr = \frac{1}{2} }{Sin\frac{A}{2} = sin30^{\circ} }{\frac{A}{2} = 30^{\circ} }{A = 60^{\circ}}$$
