A light ray is incident on a triangular prism of refracting angle 60° at an angle of incidence 37° as shown in figure. The refractive index of prism material is 1.5 and surrounding medium is having refractive index 1. The angle δ through which the light ray deviates from its path is : [(sin 37° = 0.6, sin (23.6°) = 0.4, sin (36.4°) = 0.59, sin⁻¹ (0.885) = 62.3°]
