Draw a ray diagram to show a right angled isosceles prism may be used to ''bend the path of light rays by 90^(@) . Write the necessary condition in terms of the refractive index of the material of this prism for the ray to bend to 90^(@) .

(a) Deduce the expression, by drawing a suitable ray diagram, for the refractive index of a triangular glass prisms in terms of the angle of minimum deviation (D) and the angle of prism (A). Draw a plot showing the variation of the angle of deviation with the angle of incidence. (b) Calculate the value of the angle of incidence when a ray of light incident on one face of an equilateral glass prism produces the emergent ray, which just grazes along the adjacent face. Refractive index of prism is sqrt2
