Practicing Success
The refractive index of the material of a prism is $\sqrt{2}$ and angle of prism is 30°. One of the two refracting surface of the prism is made a mirror inwards, by silver coating at outer surface. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path (after reflection from the silvered surface) if its angle of incidence on the prism is: |
30° 45° 60° zero |
45° |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 45° |
