How does the angle of deviation depend on the refracting angle of the prism?
In a prism the ray of light suffers refraction at two faces. The prism produces a deviation at the first surface and another deviation at the second surface. Thus a...

1 Answers 1 viewsThe deviation produced by the prism does not depend on the size of prism.
1 Answers 1 viewsGiven, Angle of incidence, i = 48° Refracting angle, A = 60° Angle of minimum deviation, δmin =? As δmin = 2i – A δmin = 2(48) – 60 δmin = 36°
1 Answers 1 viewsThe deviation produced by the prism depends on the following four factors: (a) The angle of incidence - As the angle of incidence increases, first the angle of deviation decreases and...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe deviation caused by a prism increases with the decrease in the wavelength of light incident on it.
1 Answers 1 views(a) If a monochromatic beam of light undergoes minimum deviation through an equi-angular prism, then the beam passes parallel to the base of prism. (b) White light splits into its constituent...
