In an experiment for determination of refractive index of glass of a prism byiv/sδplot, it was found that a ray incident at angle35o, suffers a deviation of40oand that it emerges at angle79o. In that case which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

i=35o, δ=40o, e=79o

δ=i+e-A

40o=35o+79o-A

A=74o

Andr1+r2=A=74o

Sinceδmin<40o

μ<sin74+402sin37

μmax=1.44
