A ray of light from a liquid is incident on a system of two right angled prisms of refractive indices and as shown. The ray suffers zero deviation when it emerges into air from CD. The angle of incidence i is :-

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Liquid and prism 1 both have , so the ray enters prism 1 undeviated

Faces AB and CD are both perpendicular to AC, hence parallel; zero deviation means emergent angle

At face AC:

At face CD:

Squaring and adding: , so

. Answer: (A)
