    A ray of light when incident upon a prism suffers a minimum deviation of\[39{}^\circ \]. If the shaded half portion of the prism is removed, then the same ray will -

    A) suffer a deviation of \[19.5{}^\circ \]

    B) suffer a deviation of \[39{}^\circ \]

    C) not suffer any deviation

    D) will be totally internally reflected

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\delta =\left( \mu -1 \right)A\] \[5\propto A\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\frac{{{\delta }_{2}}}{{{\delta }_{1}}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{{{A}_{2}}}{{{A}_{1}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\frac{{{\delta }_{2}}}{{{\delta }_{1}}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{A/2}{A}\,\,=\,\,\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\,\,{{\delta }_{2}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{{{\delta }_{1}}}{2}\] \[{{\delta }_{2}}\,\,=\,\,\frac{39}{2}\,\,=\,\,19.5{}^\circ \]
