Question:medium

Angle of minimum deviation for a prism --- the ray inside the prism:

Show Hint

Minimum deviation = Maximum symmetry. Symmetry means the internal ray is parallel to the base.

Updated On: May 5, 2026

Passes parallel to the base from outside
Refracts at only one surface
Travels parallel to the base inside
Undergoes total internal reflection

Show Solution

The Correct Option is C
