A ray of light incident at an angle of incidence i1 passes through an equilateral glass prism such that

The relation between the angle of incident (i), angle of emergence (e), angle of prism (A) and angle of deviation (δ) for a ray of light passing through an equilateral...

(i) As the ray is suffering minimum deviation in an equilateral glass prism so i1 = i2  ∴ i2 = 48o  (ii) If the angle of incidence is changed to (a) 30o, the angle of...

B made of flint glass. Because it has higher refractive index.

(a) If the incident ray normal to prism then angle of incidence is 0o. (b) In this case the angle of refraction from the first face r1 = 0o. (c) As the...

The deviation produced by the prism does not depend on the size of prism.

Given, Angle of incidence, i = 48° Refracting angle, A = 60° Angle of minimum deviation, δmin =? As δmin = 2i – A δmin = 2(48) – 60 δmin = 36°

The angle of incidence will be : 3. 35°

The angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray is   3. 60° 

1. reflected ray
