A monochromatic beam of light is incident at 60o on one face of an equilateral prism of refractive index n and emerges from the opposite face making an angle θ(n) with the normal (see the figure). For n=3 the value of θ is 60o and dθdn=m . The value of m  is

Answer:
2.00
Solution:

By Snell's law
1sin⁡60= nsin⁡r1⇒sin⁡r1=12r1=30o...(i)
By differentiating 'w.r.t' n
O=sin⁡r1+ncos⁡r1dr1dn
=12+3 32dr1dn
=dr1dn=13...(ii)
By applying Snell's law
nsin⁡r2=1sin⁡θ
nsin⁡60-r1=1sin⁡θ
∴A+r1+r2
By differentiating 'w.r.t' n
sin⁡(60-r1)-ncos⁡60-r1dr1dn=cosθdθdn 
By substituting value of 'r1' anddr1dnfrom (i) and (ii)
dθdn=2
