A ray `PQ` incident on face `AB` of a prism `ABC`, as shown in Fig., emerges from the face `AC` such that `AQ = AR`. Draw the ray diagram showing the pasage of the ray through the prism. If the angle of prism is `60^@` and refractive index of the material of the prism is `sqrt(3) ,` determine the values of angle of incidence and angle of deviation. .

As the refracted ray passes such that `AQ = AR`, it must go parallel to the base of the prism suffring minimum deviation. `r = A//2 = (60)/(2) = 30^(@)` `mu = (sin i)/(sin r)/(sin i)/(sin 30^(@))` `:. sin I = mu sin 30^(@) = sqrt(3) xx (1)/(2)` `i = 60^(@)` As `i + e =A + delta_(m)` `2i = 60^(@) + delta_(m), delta_(m) = 2 i - 60^(@) = 120^(@) - 60^(@)` `delta_(m) = 60^(@)`

A ray PQ incident on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC as shown in the figure and emerges from the other refracting face AC as RS such that AQ = AR. If the angle of prism A = 60^(@) and the refractive index of the meterial of prism is sqrt2 , then the angle of deviation of the ray is
A ray PQ incident on the refracting face BA is refracted in the prism BAC as shown in the figure and emerges from the other refracting face AC as RS such that AQ = AR. If the angle of prism A = 60^(@) and the refractive index of the material of prism is 3, then the angle of deviation of the ray is
A ray of light is incident at an angle of 60^(@) on the face of a prism with an angle of 60^(@) . Then the refractive index of the material of the prism is (the prism is in minimum deviation position)
