To solve the problem of finding the relationship between the angle of incidence (I), the angle of the prism (A), and the critical angle (Ic) when a ray of light is incident on a glass prism and suffers total internal reflection, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Geometry of the Prism**: - Let the angle of the prism be \( A \). - A ray of light is incident on the first face of the prism at an angle of incidence \( I \). - The ray refracts into the prism and makes an angle \( R_1 \) with the normal at the first surface. ...
