Prism, Dispersion & Scattering

A ray of light is incident at an angle of incidence i, on one face of a prism of angle A (assumed to be small) and emerges normally from the opposite face. If the refractive index of the prism is $\mu$ . the angle of incidence i, is nearly equal to

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

Emerges normally, so $r_2 = 0$ and $r_1 = A$ .
Small angles: $\sin i = \mu \sin r_1 \Rightarrow i \approx \mu A$
So the answer is (a) $\mu A$ .
