A ray `PQ` incident on face `AB` of a prism `ABC`, as shown in Fig., emerges from the face `AC` such that `AQ = AR`. Draw the ray diagram showing the pasage of the ray through the prism. If the angle of prism is `60^@` and refractive index of the material of the prism is `sqrt(3) ,` determine the values of angle of incidence and angle of deviation. . |
Answer» As the refracted ray passes such that `AQ = AR`, it must go parallel to the base of the prism suffring minimum deviation. `r = A//2 = (60)/(2) = 30^(@)` `mu = (sin i)/(sin r)/(sin i)/(sin 30^(@))` `:. sin I = mu sin 30^(@) = sqrt(3) xx (1)/(2)` `i = 60^(@)` As `i + e =A + delta_(m)` `2i = 60^(@) + delta_(m), delta_(m) = 2 i - 60^(@) = 120^(@) - 60^(@)` `delta_(m) = 60^(@)` |
