Three right angied prisms of refractive indices $\mu _1$,$\mu _2$ and $\mu _3$ are joined together so that the faces of the middle prism are each in contact with one the outside prism.If the ray passes through the composite block undeviated,then

AnswerClick to flip back
A
${\mu _1}^2+{\mu _3}^2-{\mu _2}^2 = 1$
💡 Explanation:

For a ray to pass through a composite block of three prisms undeviated, the net deviation must be zero. This condition leads to the relationship between the refractive indices of the prisms.
