A ray of light is incident on an equilateral triangular prism parallel to its base as shown in the figure. The ray just fails to emerge from the face AC. If mu be the refractive index of the prism then the relation(s) is/are :

A ray of light is incident at an angle of 60^@ on the face of a prism having refracting angle 30^@. The ray emerging out of the prism makes an angle 30^@ with the incident ray. Show that the emergent ray is perpendicular to the face through which it emerges and calculate the refractive index of the material of prism.

There is a equilateral prism of refractive index 3 on which a light ray is incident normally on one face as shown in the figure. Find the length of the path traveled by the light ray inside the prism.

A ray of light is incident horizontally on the face AB of the.right angled prism as shown in the figure. If the ray emerges grazing the surface AC, find the value of phi . Refractive index of the material of the prism is given to be n.

At what angle should a ray of light be incident on the face of a prism of refracting angle 60^(@) so that it just suffers total internal reflection at the other face ? The refractive index of the prism is 1.524.
