A ray of light is incident horizontally on the face AB of the.right angled prism as shown in the figure. If the ray emerges grazing the surface AC, find the value of phi. Refractive index of the material of the prism is given to be n.

Answer»

Solution :`Sin theta_(c) = 1//n`
from the FIGURE `pi//2 - theta_(c) = phi`
`IMPLIES theta_(c) = pi//2 - phi`
`implies phi = COS^(-1)(1//n)`
