What is angle of deviation due to refraction?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The angle between the incident and deviated light is called angle of deviation. When light travels from rarer to denser medium it deviates towards normal. The angle of deviation in this case is ,
` d = i - r`
If light travels from denser to rarer medium it deviates away from normal The angle of deviation in this case is,
` d= r - i`
