Q1:

A ray is incident at an angle of incidence $i$ on one surface of a small angle prism (with the angle of the prism $A$ ) and emerges normally from the opposite surface. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is $\mu,$ then the angle of incidence is nearly equal to:

1.	$\dfrac{2A}{\mu}$	2.	$\mu A$
3.	$\dfrac{\mu A}{2}$	4.	$\dfrac{A}{2\mu}$
