The angle of a prism is 'A'. One of its refracting surfaces is silvered. Light rays falling at an angle of incidence 2A on the first surface returns back through the same path after suffering reflection at the silvered surface. The refractive index μ, of the prism, is :

1. 2sin A

2. 2cosA

3. 12cos A

4. tan A

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 μ, the angle of incidence i is nearly equal to:

1. \(\mu \mathrm{A} \) 2. \(\frac{\mu A}{2} \)
3. \(A / \mu \) 4. \(A / 2 \mu\)
