Question 5

Consider two isosceles prisms 1 and 2 with prism angles $$A_1$$ and $$A_2$$ and refractive indices $$n_1$$ and $$n_2$$, respectively, as shown in the figure. The faces $$a_1b_1$$ and $$a_2b_2$$ are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the mirror $$M$$. If a ray of light is incident on the face $$a_1c_1$$ and emerges from the face $$a_2c_2$$, then the correct statement(s) is/are:

image

(A) $$\sin i_1 = \sin e_1 = n_1 \sin \frac{A_1}{2}$$

$$\sin i_2 = \sin e_2 = n_2 \sin \frac{A_2}{2}$$

$$e_1 = i_2 \Rightarrow n_1 \sin \frac{A_1}{2} = n_2 \sin \frac{A_2}{2}$$

(B) $$i_2 = e_2 = e_1$$

$$\sin i_2 = n_2 \sin \frac{A_2}{2}$$

But $$i_1 \neq i_2$$

(C) $$\delta_1 = (\mu_1 - 1) A_1, \delta_2 = (\mu_2 - 1) A_2$$

$$\frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{\delta_1}{\mu_1 - 1} \right) + \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{\delta_2}{\mu_2 - 1} \right) = \frac{1}{2} \frac{A_1}{2} + \frac{A_2}{2} = \theta$$

(D) $$i_1 = e_1 = i_2$$

$$\sin i_1 = n_1 \sin \frac{A_1}{2}$$
