For passing the ray from the prism, μ < cosec(A/2) μ < cosec((90 ° /2)) μ < √2 μ max = √2

Q. The maximum refractive index of a prism which permits the passage of light through it is $n$ . If the refracting angle of the prism is $9 0^{\circ},$ then what is the value of $n$ ?

For passing the ray from the prism,
$μ < cosec \frac{A}{2}$
$μ < cosec (\frac{9 0 ^{\circ}}{2})$
$μ < 2$
$μ_{ma x} = 2$
