A ray of light travelling through rarer medium is incident at a very small angle 'i' on a glass slab and after refraction its velocity is reduced by 20%. The angle of deviation is

Answer: (A)

Solution

After refraction the velocity becomes 80% of its original value, so the refractive index of glass relative to the rarer medium is . Snell's law: . For a very small angle, , so $ =
