For a thin prism, the relation between angle of deviation, δ, angle of prism A and refractive index μ is δ = ( μ - 1) A

Q. Assertion : Angle of deviation depends on the angle of prism.
Reason: For thin prism, $δ = (μ - 1) A$ .

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

If assertion is true but reason is false

If both assertion and reason are false

For a thin prism, the relation between angle of deviation, $δ$ , angle of prism A and refractive index $μ$ is $δ = (μ - 1) A$

Q. Assertion : Angle of deviation depends on the angle of prism. Reason: For thin prism, δ=(μ−1)A.
