Q123 / 180 · NEET 2018 · Physics
The refractive index of the materiel of a prism is and the angle of the prism is One of the two refracting surface of the prism is made a mirror inwards, by silver coating. 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
- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- DZero
Solution
by principle of reversibility, the beam will return its path when it strikes the mirror perpendicularly
in a prism
Applying Snell's law at P
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
