(a) Draw a ray diagram showing the passage of light through a glass prism. Hence obtain a relation between the angles of deviation, incidence and emergence and angle of prism.
(b) Show that no ray can pass through a prism whose refracting angle `A` is greater than twice the critical angle for the material of the prism.
