Show by drawing ray diagrams how a totally reflecting glass prism can be used to deviate a ray of light through (i) 90^(@) (ii) 180^(@) and invert it.

Assertion : A total reflecting prism is used to erect the inverted image without deviation. Reason : Rays of light incident parallel to base of prism emerge out as parallel rays.

A ray of ligh is incident normally on one of the faces of right angled isosceles prism as shhown above. It undergoes total internal reflection from hypotenuse. Which on of the following is the minimum refractive index of the material of the prism?

Assertion : Optical fibres make use of total internal reflection. Reason : Light undergoes successive total internal reflections as it moves through an optical fibre.

The angle of incidence of a ray of light entering a 60^(@) prism is 42^(@) . If ray is just totally reflected at the second face of the prism, determine the refractive index of the prism material for the light.

A horizontal ray of light passes through a prism whose apex angle is 4^@ and then strikes a vertical mirror M as shown in Figure. For the ray to become horizontal after reflection, Find the angle by which the mirror must be rotated.
