Q 53. In an experiment for determination of refractive index of glass of a prism by i - δ, plot, it was found that a ray incident at angle 35°, suffers a deviation of 40° and that it emerges at angle 79°. In that case which of the following is closest to the maximum possible value of the refractive index? [2016]
