As shown in Fig. `PQ` is a ray incident on prism `ABC`. Show the corresponding refracted and emergent rays. The critical angle for the material of the prism is `45^@`. What is refractive index of the material of prism ? . |

Answer» Correct Answer - `sqrt(2)` As `PQ` is normal to `AB`, `:. i_1 = 0, r_1 = 0` The ray goes straight along `PQR. At R, sqrt(i) = 45^@` which is critical angle of material of the prism. Therefore, `QR` suffers total internal reflection at `R` and goes along `RS` `mu = (1)/(sin C) = (1)/(sin 45^@) = (1)/(1//sqrt(2)) = sqrt(2)`. |
