A beam of light consisting of red, blue, and yellow colours is incident on a prism, as shown in the figures below. Complete the diagrams to show the refracted and emergent rays.

The critical angle for the material of a prism is 45^@ and its refracting angle is 30^@ . A monochromatic ray goes out perpendicular to the surface of emergence from the prism. What is the angle of incidence on the prism ?

When the angle of deviation for refraction through the prism is minimum then the true statement is Angle of incidence is equal to :

What is a prism?

A ray PQ is incident normally on the face AB of a triangular prism of refracting angle of 60^(@) , mae of a transparent material of refractive index ( sqrt(3))/( 2) , as shown in the figure. Trace the path of the ray as it passes through the prism. Also calculate the angle of emergence and angle of deviation.
