1. For a prism of refracting angle A and refractive index 2. Assume rays are incident at all angles of incidence 0° ≤ i ≤ 90°. Ignore partial reflection.
2. Dispersive power of a prism depends on
3. Assertion (A): Splitting of light into its component colours is possible in refraction at plane surface of two media. Reason (R): On each refraction dispersion is possible but in prism at both surface dispersion is in same direction so it is clearly seen.  
4. A ray is incident at an angle of incidence i on one surface of a small angle prism (with angle of prism A) and emerges normally from the opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is m, then the angle of incidence is nearly equal to : (2020)
5. The refractive index of the material of a prism is $\sqrt{2}$ and its refracting angle is $30^\circ$. One of the refracting surfaces of the prism is made a mirror inwards. A beam of monochromatic light entering the prism from the other face will retrace its path after reflection from the mirrored surface if its angle of incidence on the prism is: (2004)
