A light ray enters through a right-angled prism at point \(P\) with the angle of incidence \(30^\circ\) as shown in the figure. It travels through the prism parallel to its base \(BC\) and emerges along the face \(AC.\) The refractive index of the prism is:
1. \({\dfrac{\sqrt5}{2}}\) 2. \({\dfrac{\sqrt3}{4}}\)
3. \({\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}}\) 4. \({\dfrac{\sqrt5}{4}}\)

For a prism, when the light undergoes minimum deviation, the relationship between the angle of incidence \((i)\) and the angle of emergence \((i')\) is:
1. \(i=i'\) 2. \(i>i'\)
3. \(i<i'\) 4. \(i=0\)

A horizontal ray of light is incident on the right-angled prism with prism angle \(6^\circ.\) If the refractive index of the material of the prism is \(1.5,\) then the angle of emergence will be:
1. \(9^\circ\) 2. \(10^\circ\)
3. \(4^\circ\) 4. \(6^\circ\)

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:
1. \(\mu A\)  
2. \(\dfrac{\mu A}{2}\) 
3. \(\frac{A}{\mu}\)
4. \(\frac{A}{2\mu}\)
