Question
Two identical prisms 1 and 2, each with angles of 30o, 60o and 90o are placed in contact as shown in figure. A ray of light passes through
The combination in the position of minimum deviation and suffers a deviation of 30o. if the prism 2 is removed, then the angle of deviation of the same ray is;
Solution
Correct option is
Equal to 15o
As A is halved, so δ is also halved.
