In the figure given ahead the correct statement is:
- ABED and ABC are the refracting surfaces.
- line AD is the refracting edge
- angle a is the angle of deviation
- AB is the base of the prism.

A ray of light of wavelength 6600 Å suffers refraction from air to glass. Taking aμg = 3/2, find the wavelength of light in glass.
In refraction of light through a prism, the light ray:
- suffers refraction only at one face of the prism
- emerges out from the prism in a direction parallel to the incident ray
- bends at both the surfaces of the prism towards its base
- bends at both the surfaces of prism opposite to its base.
The angle of prism A is given as:
- r1 - r2
- i1 + i2
- r1 + r2
- r1 / r2
The angle of deviation becomes minimum when:
- i1 = r1
- i1 = r2
- i1 = i2
- r2 = i2
