The angle of minimumdeviation for a prism is 37^(@).If the angle of prism is 60^(@) , find the refractive index of the material of the prism.

Answer»

Solution :GIVE: A = `60^(@) , , D = 37^(@!)`
Equation for refractive index is, `n=(sin((A+D)/(2)))/(sin((A)/(2)))`
Substituting the values `n=(sin((60^(@)+37^(@))/(2)))/(sin((60^(@))/(2)))=(sin(48.5))/(sin(30^(@)))=(0.75)/(0.5)=1.5`
The refractive index of the FLINT glass is, `omega = 0.0306`
