Question

When the refractive index of the prism is increased, the angle of deviation _____.

  1. Decreases
  2. Increases
  3. Stays the same
  4. Becomes zero

hintHint:

For a given angle of incidence, the prism with a higher refractive index (e.g. flight glass) produces a greater deviation than the prism which has lower refractive index (e.g, crown glass).

The correct answer is: Increases


    For a given angle of incidence, the prism with a higher refractive index (e.g. flight glass) produces a greater deviation than the prism which has lower refractive index (e.g, crown glass).
