i. Absolute deviation :
An absolute deviation is the modulus of the difference between an observed value and the arithmetic mean for the set of several measurements made in the same...
For thin prisms (refracting angle < sin 10°).
sin θ ≈ θ
∴ Refractive index, n = \(\frac{sin\,i}{sin\,r_i}\) ≈ \(\frac{i}{r_1}\)
Also n = \(\frac{sin\,e}{sin\,r_2}\) ≈ \(\frac{e}{r_2}\)
∴ i ≈ n r1 and e ≈ nr2
ii. Substituting this in, i + e =...
