In refraction of light through a prism, the light ray:
Suffers refraction only at one face of the prism
Emerges out from the prism in a direction parallel to the incident ray
Bends at both the surfaces of prism towards its base
Bends at both the surfaces of prism opposite to its base.
A ray of light incident at an angle 48o on a prism of refracting angle 60o suffers minimum deviation. Calculate the angle of minimum deviation.
[Hint: δmin = 2i - A]
