Question #1
The angle of minimum deviation for a prism depends on:
A. Both angle of prism and refractive index
B. Wavelength of light only
C. Angle of prism only
D. Refractive index only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Minimum deviation δ_m for a prism: n = sin[(A + δ_m)/2] / sin(A/2), where A is prism angle, n refractive index. Thus δ_m depends on both A and n. Since n varies with wavelength (dispersion), δ_m also depends on wavelength, but the primary dependencies are A and n. Memory tip: 'δ_m increases with A and n; used to measure n'. This optics formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that minimum deviation occurs when ray passes symmetrically through prism, a key condition for derivation.

Question #2
Polarization used in:
A. Neither
B. LCD displays
C. Both
D. Glare-reducing sunglasses

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Polarized sunglasses block reflected glare (horizontal polarization). LCDs use liquid crystals to rotate polarization for pixel control. Memory tip: 'Polarization: sunglasses (glare reduction), LCDs (display technology)'. Optics application frequently tested in competitive exams.
