    What should be the minimum value of  refractive index of the material of the prism for the reflections to take place as shown in the figure :

    A)  1.7               

    B)  1.4

    C)  1.2               

    D)  2.7

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     From the formula, the minimum refractive index is \[{{\mu }_{m}}=\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}=\frac{\sin 90{}^\circ }{\sin 45{}^\circ }\] \[=\frac{1}{1/\sqrt{2}}\] \[=\sqrt{2}=1.414=1.4\]
