A ray is incident at an angle of incidence i on one surface of a prism of small angle A and emerges normally from the opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of prism is m, the angle of incidence i is nearly equal to(a) A/u(b) A/2u(c) u A(d)uA/2

As refracted ray emerges normally from oppostite surface,
r2 = 0
As A = r1 + r2
.''. r1 = A
Now, u= sini1/sinr
= i1/r1
=uA

FOR PRISM ,
A = R1 + R2
As the ray emerges normally,
E = 90 DEGREE . R2 = 90
R1 NEEDS TO BE 0 DEGREE
A = R2
U = SIN i/ SIN r
For small angles ,
SIN X = X
U = SIN i / SIN r
U = i / r
U = i / A
THUS::::
UA = I
