∠r = 30° (using law of triangle)
⇒ µ = sin i sin r
⇒ √2 × sin 30° = sin i⇒ sin i = 1 ⇒ i = 45° √2 Correct Option: B

Given: Focal length of objective, f0 = 40cm
Focal length of eye – piece fe = 4 cm
image distance, v0 = 200 cm
Using lens formula for objective lens 1 - 1 = 1 ⇒ 1 = 1 - 1 v0 u0 ƒ0 v0 ƒ0 u0 ⇒ 1 = 1 + 1 = + 5 - 1 v0 40 - 200 200
⇒v0 = 50 cm
Tube length ℓ = |v0| + fe = 50 + 4 = 54 cm.Correct Option: D

When the angle of prism is small, δ = (µ – 1) A
Correct Option: A
When the angle of prism is small, δ = (µ – 1) A

Angle of minimum deviation
μ = sin A + δm ⇒ √3 = sin A + δm 2 2 sin A sin 60° 2 2 ⇒ sin 30° + δm = √3 ⇒ 30 ° δm = 60° 2 2 2
⇒ δm = 60°.Correct Option: C
Angle of minimum deviation
μ = sin A + δm ⇒ √3 = sin A + δm 2 2 sin A sin 60° 2 2 ⇒ sin 30° + δm = √3 ⇒ 30 ° δm = 60° 2 2 2
⇒ δm = 60°.
